Viimeisessä Kiekkomaailma-romaanissa seurataan sitä, kuinka teininoita Tiffany Aching nousee noitien tunnustamattomaksi johtajaksi ja kokoaa joukkonsa viimeiseen taistoon haltioita vastaan. Kahden edellisen, varsin käppäisen kirjan jälkeen tämä tuntuu taas vuorostaan paljon käypäisemmin soljuvalta, ehkä siksi, että näissä Tiffany Achingeissa on kauttaaltaan ollut sellainen nuortenkirjamaisempi ote ja kerrontatyyli, jossa se kahdessa edellisessä, luonteeltaan erilaisessa kirjassa pahasti haitannut käppäisyys ei näy. Ihan jees lopetus sarjalle, kirjan valmistumisen olosuhteet huomioon ottaen.

A fitting final Discworld novel from Sir Terry, whom Death sadly led away from this world last year.



Esme Weatherwax is also dead. Who will fill her boots? Who will fill the boots of Terry Pratchett? At least the first of these questions is answered in The Shepherd's Crown. The second.... well, maybe we will find out in the future. Like Granny Weatherwax, Terry will be a difficult act to follow. But, maybe we don't need another Terry, but somebody who does things their own way. Not another Granny, but somebody more.. Tiffany.
