KATRAM NOVADAM VAJADZĪGA SAVA RAGANA
UZ SKATUVES PARĀDĀS TIFĀNIJA SMELGA
Upē iemitinājies zaļacains briesmonis, pa ceļu jādelē bezgalvains jātnieks... bet vairs nav Smelgu vecmāmuļas, kas spētu izskaidrot, kas notiek. Ir tikai vienpadsmit gadus vecā Tifānija Smelga, kurai tagad ir jānosargā robežas. Jo otrpus robežām viņas pasaule cenšas iekļūt... viss kas. Tā ir viņas zeme. Tas ir viņas uzdevums. Tomēr nevar vien nobrīnīties, cik lietderīga dažkārt izrādās kauslīgu, zilādainu vīreļu orda, ja vien tiem norāda pareizo virzienu, kurā doties...
Man šis tulkojums šķita saprotamāks, dzīvāks un patīkamāks par iepriekšējo. Ja jāizvēlas, iesaku šo.
An origin story, but a fun one.
I was so reluctant to start a book that doesn't center on the Ramtop witches. Mainly because I didn't want to read too much about anyone who's not Granny Weatherwax. But I'm glad I still read this, I like it a lot in so many different ways, it feels like a really well rounded story!
Fun witchy adventure. Loved the humor and the mythology mixed with fairy tales.
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.
This is one I reread often. Tiffany Aching is probably my favourite fictional character.
A re-read, the usual tapestry of sources and influences that make for a great read but also much thought provoking material about perception and reality - topped off with the amazing Nac Mac Feegles - the creation of a genius mind
Tony Robinson does amazing voices in the audiobook, especially Miss Tick and the Nac Mac Feegle.

A bit YA for my taste, but still has a fierce Pratchett witch, which is always a good read. His take on the Little People is a hoot.
