“Pratchett’s unique blend of comedy and articulate insight is at its vibrant best. Full of rich humor, wisdom, and eventfulness.” —Horn Book (starred review)

By beloved and bestselling Terry Pratchett, this is the third in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.

When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take all the young witch's skill and cunning, as well as help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring.

Because if Tiffany doesn't make it to Spring, Spring won't come for anyone.

    " Liked it more than the second book, less than the first book. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Emily | 2/15/2014

    " Another charming installment in Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching YA novels. Not quite as coherent as A Hat Full of Sky, but still utterly enjoyable, with more of Tiffany's education in witching and return supporting appearances from the Nac Mac Feegle, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Rachel | 2/6/2014

    " Terry Pratchett is a genius, a crafter of stories, his writing is flawless, his humour will have you laughing wherever you are. Go on, read a tale of Discworld, you won't regret it. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Hannah | 1/24/2014

    " I'm in the minority of finding the Tiffany Aching books really hard work and really slow going. It took me 3 days to read 50 pages, and then I finished it on the last day because of a 5 hour train journey with no room to knit, crochet or watch a DVD on the journey. Nevertheless it's still a great book, and now I only have 3 Discworld books to go until I'm finished! :C "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Lauren | 1/13/2014

    " There weren't as many passages that made me laugh out loud in this book as some of the others, but still good for a laugh. You have to read the Tiffany books in order though, otherwise you'll never get what is going on. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Sandy | 1/13/2014

    " This continues to be a very fun series. Entertaining to listen to in the car - the accent of the Feagles (sp?) is so good, that I would recommend listening to it. Kid friendly also. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Travis | 1/8/2014

    " These Tiffany Aching books just keep getting better and better. I loved Miss Treason and her Boffo, and Annagramma. And omg Horace! Horace was the best! And I'm liking Roland, too. (And of course Tiffany and Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, as well.) "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Eric | 12/17/2013

    " As usual, Terry Pratchett is hilarious. The Nac Mac Feegle get me every time. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Tommy | 10/25/2013

    " Obviously read these in the wrong order, but it doesn't matter. I think it is James McKee who doesn't like the Discworld series - I always knew he was too weird. It is fun, and even funny at times, and does exactly what it says on the tin! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Stacie | 10/24/2013

    " I love Discworld. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Blue | 10/8/2012

    " The best of the three. Tiffany Aching is such a great character. (Terry Pratchett still doesn't quite know how to end a book though.) "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Amanda | 7/6/2012

    " Another great Tiffany book, although I do rank Wee Free Men as his greatest to date. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Melissa | 1/1/2012

    " Not as delightful or funny as the other two in the series, but still very, very sweet. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Imma | 11/2/2011

    " I found this Tiffany Aching book very tedious and long winded. It left me very disappointed in the series. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Lynn | 11/1/2011

    " Looking forward to I Shall Wear Midnight; #4 in the Tiffany Aching series. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Benji | 6/8/2011

    " This one was my favorite in the series so far. One more to go. I don't want them to end! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Emily | 3/20/2011

    " I love tiffany aching. Although this comes across as a light hearted story of a young girl and her adventures is it a touching story of growing up and finding ones place in the world. I love getting into tiffany's mind. It is so frank and true to life addled with great humor "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Wulfansur | 3/17/2011
