“in the rainforests...right in the top branches of the trees there are ...great big flowers...and water gets into the flowers and makes little pools and there's a type of frog that lays eggs in the pools and tadpoles hatch...and these little frogs live their whole lives in the flowers right at the top of the trees and don't even know about the ground, and once you know the world is full of things like that, your life is never the same.”

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I enjoyed this conclusion to the little trilogy. 🐸 I liked how they pulled it all together and met more of their tribe. 6y
julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa TBH, I enjoyed the conclusion to this trilogy. It's over! 🎊🎉 Yes, I admit, this was not my favourite and I skimmed. #SorryNotSorry I'm definitely looking forward to the next Discworld adventure. 6y
Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa This one was a fun one. I liked tge change in direction and how the nomes were in control in this one. The characters also developed a great deal. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice Yes, I agree. And I liked the frog side story-analogy. 6y

Sorry #PratchettPosse I had to read ahead and finish this little trilogy while I was at it! It was a satisfying conclusion for me, and I‘ll miss the tiny crew....honestly I want to hang out both with the Floridian clan a bit and the frogs 🐸🙂

This was a great conclusion to the series. After Diggers being so similar to Truckers, Wings took us too new heights, both literally and figuratively. Our nomes make huge leaps of faith and travel, changing, evolving, gaining understanding. Pratchett gets more sublime, as our nomes meet other nomes, geese, humans, frogs, and a space ship. Loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
