In Terry
Pratchett's "A Hat Full of Sky" Tiffany
Aching, incipient witch and cheese maker extraordinaire who once saved the
world from Queen of the Elves, is trying out her witchy talents again when she
is plunged into yet another adventure, leaving home to be apprentice to a
"real" witch. But this time she's about to discover that battling evil monarchs
is child's play compared to mortal combat with a Hiver - an insidious
disembodied presence drawn to powerful magic, that's highly dangerous,
frequently lethal and cannot be stopped with iron or fire. Oh, and its target
is Tiffany Aching. Will the thievin', fightin' and drinkin' skills of the Wee
Free Men be of use or must Tiffany rely on her own abilities - and a frying
pan? A sharply humorous sequel to
"The
Wee Free Men". |
