julesG Here we are, the last Discworld adventure. Like the final episode of a long running TV series it brought a lot of the Discworld characters together again. I'm glad I chose the audiobook, I know I would have put off finishing the novel in print format. 14mo
willaful Definitely a bittersweet read. I read that P. had stopped including Death as a character after his diagnosis so his return has a lot of symbolic weight.

I tend to really dislike the Elf books because I don't read Pratchett for depictions of evil, but it was nice that there was movement on Elf humanization, even if it ended really sadly.

BookmarkTavern God this got me so much. I wasn‘t prepared for chapter 2. I ended up full on weeping at work. 😅 And I loved watching as Tiffany learned to delegate and share responsibilities, but that she could also do her own thing and not fill specific boots. Giving big Oldest Daughter Syndrome for Tiffany being the second youngest in her family. ❤️ 14mo
BookmarkTavern And I had no idea @willaful about Pratchett‘s writing of Death. That makes that scene all the more poignant for me. ❤️ 14mo
julesG @BookmarkTavern I knew what would happen (someone forgot to use the spoiler tag), but was surprised it happened so early in the story. 14mo
BookmarkTavern I‘m not sure if knowing about it before hand would have been better or worse for me. 😅 14mo
khooliha I had seen about the death and assumed Esme would go down swinging, but it's kind of nice that it was just a normal day. Those are important too. 14mo
khooliha Just finished this and I think the Tiffany books are the most consistent and best subseries? You can see so many of the hooks in this one, things he would have woven together if he'd had time. It would have been great. I'm grateful to have it. 14mo

Dear #OokBOokClub-ers, did you know lots of #Discworld novels got a new #audiobook edition read by Indira Varma (among others)?

I'm going to re-read the first four Tiffany Aching books and then join audiobook and eBook for #ShepherdsCrown.

See you on September 7th for our discussion of the last Discworld adventure.

Soubhiville I‘ll have to check out the Tiffany Aching books on audio! 1y
DrexEdit My husband and I have been reading the Tiffany audiobooks, but the older 2015 Stephen Briggs versions. It would be nice to hear Tiffany read in a woman‘s voice! 1y
julesG @DrexEdit I listened to Stephen Briggs before, too. Both are good. 1y
