Review of "The Shepherd's Crown: Number 41 of the Discworld Novels Series" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I've been less excited by the elves and Tiffany novels in the past but I really liked this one. Yes, it wasn't entirely finished. It was lacking lots of the richness that usually come with Pratchett books, but the amount of time he could put into plumping out the book was sadly cut short. It had a quite satisfying resolution of sorts to Granny and Tiffany's story.
However, it leaves everything in a quite odd state, this rich place and set of characters who will now be forever frozen in time. Carrot, Vimes, Hex, the wizards, etc will never do anything else except what they have already done.
Strangely different from a series that an author leaves behind because they've moved on, since Pratchett had a couple more books already in progress (and probably hundreds of plots and ideas) that he never got to finish. Sad to see it end but at least there are a huge number of old books which I can re-read someday.
