“Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy.”-- Guardian“A passion for language, wordplay and puns bursts from the pages.” -- Daily Telegraph "Funny, terrifying and enlightening and quite, quite brilliant." --Starburst"Plenty to laugh at here, not least Pratchett's ability to put a 90 degree spin on the familiar." --The Times"Teen witch Tiffany is one of [Terry Pratchett's] most formidable creations yet." --Time Out"Ingenious mélange of fantasy, action, humour, and sly bits of social commentary."--Kirkus Reviews
