‘Wintersmith' is another jewel in the wonderfully absurd crown that is the Discworld. Tiffany Aching grows in knowledge and power as she steps into a dance with winter and begins a, shall we call it… flirtation. As Tiffany grows older in these books, so the content becomes richer and a little more adult. While ‘The Wee Free Men’ and ‘A Hat Full of Sky’ can quite happily caper into the thoughts of a nine year old, I feel the third novel is more suitable for slightly older children. Do you need to have read the first two ‘Tiffany Aching’ books, yes you do actually, to enjoy the sheer magic of Terry Pratchett's writing as he takes the world we live in, and while making fun of humanity, also allows us to see the sheer wonder. ‘Wintersmith’ is a gorgeous, wickedly funny, dancing delight of a novel and as it joins the first two 'Tiffany Aching Novels', it snugly fits right in.
