"Another world is colliding with this one," said the toad. "All the monsters are coming back."

"Why?" said Tiffany.

"There's no one to stop them."

There was silence for a moment.

Then Tiffany said, "There's me."

Armed only with a frying pan and her common sense, Tiffany Aching, a young witch-to-be, is all that stands between the monsters of Fairyland and the warm, green Chalk country that is her home. Forced into Fairyland to seek her kidnapped brother, Tiffany allies herself with the Chalk's local Nac Mac Feegle - aka the Wee Free Men - a clan of sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men who are as fierce as they are funny. Together they battle through an eerie and ever-shifting landscape, fighting brutal flying fairies, dream-spinning dromes, and grimhounds - black dogs with eyes of fire and teeth of razors - before ultimately confronting the Queen of the Elves, absolute ruler of a world in which reality intertwines with nightmare. And in the final showdown, Tiffany must face her cruel power alone...

In a riveting narrative that is equal parts suspense and humor, Carnegie Medalist Terry Pratchett returns to his internationally popular Discworld with a breathtaking tale certain to leave fans, new and old, enthralled.

Man šis tulkojums šķita saprotamāks, dzīvāks un patīkamāks par iepriekšējo. Ja jāizvēlas, iesaku šo.

Loved it!

Sin valoración

I was so reluctant to start a book that doesn't center on the Ramtop witches. Mainly because I didn't want to read too much about anyone who's not Granny Weatherwax. But I'm glad I still read this, I like it a lot in so many different ways, it feels like a really well rounded story!

Mundodisco con capítulos, el menos mejor

3,0 stars

Tal vez mi entrega menos favorita del Mundodisco hasta el momento posiblemente en buena medida porque es una novela que no pone nada fácil el traducirla. En la versión en español optan por hacer hablar a los Nac Mac Feegles en una especie de asturiano con toques gallegos que me sacaba constantemente de la historia. Y no creo que sea una mala decisión de traducción, simplemente me parece que no había solución buena. En general las novelas del Mundodisco más orientadas a un público juvenil las disfruto menos y esta no ha sido una excepción. Pero aun así sigue siendo una novela de Pratchett (#speakHisName) que siempre te deja una sensación calentita por dentro y te reconcilia un poco con el mundo.

Kva om Pippi var magisk?

Eit sitat om bokas heltinne er: «She’d read the dictionary all the way through. No one told her you weren’t supposed to.», som minner meg då eg fekk barneleksikon til bursdag, og kunne opplyse om at eg hadde lest dei ferdig to veker etterpå.

Eg har forsøkt meg på ulike inngangar i Discworld-serien, likt nokre og falt av andre, men det er først her eg har følt meg heime.
