I Shall Wear Midnight - Terry Pratchett

I Shall Wear Midnight (Tiffany Aching, #4) (Discworld, #38)I Shall Wear Midnight (Tiffany Aching, #4) by Terry Pratchett

Definitely the Darker And Edgier book in the Tiffany Aching series. How much you feel there is an impending danger in the story probably depends on how much you associate the Cunning Man’s methods with modern-day scapegoating and prejudice in addition to old-fashioned witch burnings, and how much you feel like you’ve seen similar things in your life.

I was glad Letitia was shown from a fresh perspective as the book went on, and I really liked Preston. The Feegles are as much fun as always.

The re-visiting of loose ends from previous stories (Wee Mad Arthur and Eskarina in particular) was very satisfying too. Tiffany really has graduated from student and child to grown witch, which makes a great ending to the series.
