I have so much respect for Terry Pratchett, not only is he a brilliant writer with a truly fabulous imagination but he continues to write discworld novels, loved by millions, despite the adversities that he faces. Never-the-less it is a fast paced, magical adventure and I read them over and over again. This is a fabulously witty book which had me laughing out loud on multiple occasions (all of course due to the slightly crazy faeries) and I recommend it to children over the age of 10 years as it touches on the death of a baby. But how do you fight what is primarily an idea? Following a series of misunderstandings, Tiffany finds herself, once again, in trouble and with the tangled ball of malice following her it seems their options are running out. Unfortunately, along with it, it has awakened all the old stories of evil, old witches, stories which are catching on fast and as the hate spreads they become aimed at Tiffany herself.
But has she? Something has been awakened, something powerful and filled with a hate so vicious it overflows and spreads like a disease. In I Shall Wear Midnight we join her as she finally becomes accepted into her community as their witch. However, they are loyal creatures and throughout the series provide huge help for the 'big wee hag' as she fights various monsters and learns to be a witch, which is not necessarily about spells and potions. I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett, 9780061433061, available at Book Depository with free delivery worldwide. These are not your average faeries, they are (to put it simply) tiny, Scottish, blue men who like nothing better than to drink, fight and be put in dangerous situations. This series tells the story of the young chalk witch Tiffany and her little faerie helpers known as the Nac Mac Feegles or Wee Free Men.
