The Wee Free Men: The Beginning

My full review was posted at SFF Book Review.

What a fun Discworld adventure. For all of those who have had enough of crazy Ankh-Morpork for a while and want to enjoy the country air, so to speak, Tiffany Aching's first adventure is just the thing.

Living on the Chalk, herding sheep and making excellent cheese, Tiffany has decided whe wants to be a witch. When strange creatures start appearing and Tiffany has to stare a headless rider into the eyes it doesn't have, she knows trouble is brewing. Then her brother Wentworth disappears and Tiffany has only her trusted frying pan and an army of little, blue men in kilts and with a preference for strong licqor to aide her in rescuing him.

This was fun on many levels and I can't wait to read more about Tiffany, a heroine so wonderful all other YA novels should learn from her.

7,5/10 - almost 8/10
