Again, I liked this book enormously more rereading it than the first time I read it. And again with Pratchett essentially inventing mythology that feels like it must've already existed.

The Tiffany Aching Adventures is one of my favorite series, and the third installment did not disappoint. I loved every word of it! Sometimes I wish I had Feegles, but I guess I should be careful about wishing for that...
