A nightmarish danger threatens from the other side of reality . . .Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, young witch-to-be Tiffany Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland. Luckily she has some very unusual help: the local Nac Mac Feegle-aka the Wee Free Men-a clan of fierce, sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men.Together they must face headless horsemen, ferocious grimhounds, terrifying dreams come true, and ultimately the sinister Queen of the Elves herself. . . .A Story of Discworld

Crivens, more Feegles please.
4 stars
I might just be a shallow person, but I enjoyed the earlier, more Feegle-heavy parts of this book the most. In the later interactions with the Queen of Fae, I had the uncomfortable impression Pratchett had one or more serious points about psychological abuse.

Kva om Pippi var magisk?
Eit sitat om bokas heltinne er: «She’d read the dictionary all the way through. No one told her you weren’t supposed to.», som minner meg då eg fekk barneleksikon til bursdag, og kunne opplyse om at eg hadde lest dei ferdig to veker etterpå.
Eg har forsøkt meg på ulike inngangar i Discworld-serien, likt nokre og falt av andre, men det er først her eg har følt meg heime.

Terry Pratchett seamlessly traverses the humorous and heartfelt in this book. It's a lovely coming-of-age story with pacing that never leaves you wondering when something exciting is going to happen next. While Tiffany Aching doesn't particularly read as a 9-year-old girl, her character is so sassy and enjoyable to behold that it's hard to be bothered by her rather adult attitude.
Pratchett espouses on the responsibility we have towards our community and our families, no matter how dumb or difficult they may be, and left me thinking about how we could all stand to embrace our inner witch a little more.
