A Hat Full of Sky
by Terry Pratchett, 278 pgs, hardcover
Amazon site
Overall Grade: B+
Series: Discworld, Tiffany Aching #2
Not as humorous as I expected, but still pretty good. This one has more witching stuff in it, which isn't my favorite part of Discworld, so that might have something to do with it. Maybe I just didn't like the child's prespective because it felt like I could grab quite enough pieces of the puzzle to be spurred on in my reading which is usually the case with Discworld books.
Story: As a sequel to 'Wee Free Men' Tiffany Aching heads off to an apprenticeship to learn to be a witch. But of course, magical dangers can't be far away and soon she becomes entangled with an entity known as a hiver that can, well, take over Tiffany's body...and you can guess how the rest of it goes. Definitely could have used more Nac Mac Feegle.
