Reviews
On Oct 4 2010, Michaelstor said:
Another brilliant book in Terry Pratchett's long line of brilliant books. This one is the third of the Tiffany books and she is now older and in charge of her 'steadying'. The only negative criticism to be made here is that perhaps this one falls uncomfortably between 'young adult' and 'adult'. It is perhaps a tad too complex for readers of the previous Tiffany books - except that they are now older of course - and may be a little slight for those that enjoy the more heavily satirical Discworld books. Nevertheless this is a thoroughly enjoyable read in the great Discworld tradition.
