At 9, Tiffany Aching defeated the cruel Queen of Fairyland.

At 11, she battled an ancient body-stealing evil.

At 13, Tiffany faces a new challenge: a boy. And boys can be a bit of a problem when you're thirteen. . . .

But the Wintersmith isn't exactly a boy. He is Winter itself-snow, gales, icicles-all of it. When he has a crush on Tiffany, he may make her roses out of ice, but his nature is blizzards and avalanches. And he wants Tiffany to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever.

Tiffany will need all her cunning to make it to Spring. She'll also need her friends, from junior witches to the legendary Granny Weatherwax. They-

Crivens! Tiffany will need the Wee Free Men too! She'll have the help of the bravest, toughest, smelliest pictsies ever to be banished from Fairyland-whether she wants it or not.

It's going to be a cold, cold season, because if Tiffany doesn't survive until Spring-

-Spring won't come.

    Tiffany Aching is growing up, and so is the intended target for this novel. After a couple of "Discworld for younger readers" novels, Tiffany's adventures start intertwining with those of other major characters (the witches, of course). Already in the earlier books Pratchett made sure that she will not be necessarily involved in future witches adventures by binding her to her plains, but she would fit in the "full" Discworld novels no problem.
    A very nice, very good, very entertaining read once again.
    Even though there are no dragons.

  • Definitely my favorite (thus far!) of the Tiffany Aching arc in the Discworld oeuvre. This is Pratchett at his best - elegant, witty, and profound.
