This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots.

Now I’m just… even sadder, I guess.įirst sentence: It was born in the darkness of the Circle Sea at first just a soft floating thing, washed back and forth by tide after tide.ĭeep in the Chalk, something is stirring. I would be grumpier about that if the fact that it’s the last Discworld book wasn’t so terribly sad. My boyfriend actually preordered the super expensive special edition (with the golden slip case) for me, only to be told a few weeks ago that – oops – no more copies available, after all, despite a successful preorder. As expected, it was as much the author saying goodbye to his books as it was another goodbye. Mind you, I still have a lot of books in the series to catch up on, but my favorite sub-set – the Witches and Tiffany Aching – is over.
