Gripping and extraordinary.

An astonishing imaginative feat – Pullman has conjured a universe of an intensity and beauty that leave one gasping . . . for sheer inventiveness he has no equal.

Pullman is such an original and compelling storyteller that his books make reading an aerobic activity; they literally leave you breathless.

The Wood Queen is a great instalment in the series that has left me desperate for the final book in the trilogy! If you enjoyed The Iron Witch then The Wood Queen is a must read

This book both kicks ass and yet is full of beauty

I loved this book. I read it in one sitting and was completely caught up in the crazy fairy tale world that Karen Mahoney has created! Overall, a brilliant and enchanting read!

I definitely don't want to give anything away about the ending, but I have to give the authors credit for a really stunning climax which had me desperate to get my hands on the next in this 5-book series. I can't wait to find out where we go from here!

Pratchett's final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling.

A worthy crown to Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal artistic achievement.

The last Discworld offering is a poignant farewell, both to Pratchett's readership and to his extraordinary world.

As ever in Pratchett's work, empathy and compassion are foregrounded. With its humour and humaneness, it reminds us, too, that its author, as Tiffany says of her deceased friend, 'is . . . was . . . unfollowable.'

Something to treasure

Funny, sad and extremely moving . . . most will likely consider it one of the strongest, and certainly one of the most – possibly the most – moving [of the Discworld novels].
