80. Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett (Young Adult Fantasy) 323 p.

In this third installment in the adventures of Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegle, Tiffany is now thirteen years old. Living with (and learning witchcraft from) old Miss Treason, she still writes and receives letters from Roland, the Baron’s son. She very soon makes the mistake of dancing with the Wintersmith, a mistake which could have dire consequences. Because now Roland isn’t her only admirer.

I think this is my favourite of the Tiffany Aching books so far. After a slightly slow start, I found it a great deal funnier than A Hat Full of Sky, and I liked Roland’s more prominent role. The Nac Mac Feegle continue to amuse me, while Granny Weatherax is her usual irascible self. Nanny Ogg makes an appearance, which is always a pleasure.

I actually finished this on Saturday, but it took me a while to recover from the trip home and to actually feel like writing a review.
