Reviews

Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy

—— The Guardian

Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent.

—— Kirkus

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of... stuff one can find in a Terry Pratchett book

—— The Book Smugglers

Amazing Maurice has one of the most satisfying and effective endings in the series!

—— Reading Bug

Humour, humour and more humour, an utterly unpredictable plot, interesting rats - err, characters - and a profound denoument, this is Discworld at its best.

—— Speculation

Millions of young readers have fallen under the spell of Jill Murphy's Worst Witch

—— Sunday Express

There are entertaining twists, humorous moments, and just enough romance to leave everyone happy at the end of the book.

a must for all Pratchett fans

—— Mansfield Chad

As the well-places plot unravels in Pratchett's inimitable style, it goes without saying that everything gets very funny.
Like Tiffany, Pratchett has always known that "laughter helps things slide into the thinking".

—— Alex Sarll, Sarah O'Meara , Romsey Advertiser, Bucks Herald, Hampshire Chronicle Series, Blackpool Gazette

Pratchett's book is suffused with an awareness of the thankless exhaustion which awaits people in the caring professions.

—— Express & Star City Final (Wolverhampton West Midlands)

A must for all Pratchett fans, young and old.

—— Bill Purdue , Mansfield Chad

As the well-paced plot unravels in Pratchett's inimitable style, it goes without saying that everything gets very funny. Like Tiffany, Pratchett has always has always known that "laughter helps things slide into the thinking."

—— Alex Sarll , Bradford Telegraph

There's plenty of Pratchett's trademark humour to enjoy... Fantastic fantasy and laugh-out-loud humour make this a real treat.

—— Stacia Briggs , Norwich Telegraph

Sure to be a huge seller over Christmas, the fantastic new teen title from the king of fantasy, Terry Pratchett....This is much darker than the previous Tiffany novels, as Tiffany grows up along with the readers. That said, it's still filled with Pratchett's trademark quircky humour.

—— Clare Mitchell , Yorkshire Post

If you must have more contemporary fantasy for your almost-teens, then the bogglingly prolific Terry Prachett has a new junior Discworld title: I Shall Wear Midnight

—— The Independant on Sunday

Although I Shall Wear Midnight, the fourth volume in the Tiffany Aching books by master of fantasy worlds Terry Pratchett is marked as being for younger readers, this is a book that older fans can't help but enjoy. Full of puns, allusions and some very odd characters, including Tiffany's ex, this is a book to laugh your way through.

—— Caroline Franklin , Newbury Weekly News

There are suprising revelations about other acquaintances in this action packed story with dark moments lightened by humour, not least from the wonderful Nac Mac Feegles. Full length novel for older, capable readers.
