Book review: A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett




Book: A Hat Full of Sky
Author: Terry Pratchett
Year published: 2004
Genre: Comic fantasy
Rating: 9/10

Review:  A Hat Full of Sky is the second book in the Tiffany Aching series that begins with The Wee Free Men. Tiffany is now 11 years old and has become a sort of apprentice witch to Miss Level. Miss Level is very interesting, mostly because she has two bodies. She encounters a lot of other witches from the sublime to the ridiculous (Granny Weatherwax to Annagramma) and has to fight the Hiver, an insidious beast that infects people's brains and amplifies all their worst impulses.

I didn't like this one quite as much as the Wee Free Men; the hiver was not as satisfying an enemy as the Queen. But it's still very good, both wise and funny. You should definitely read the Tiffany Aching series in order.

About the Author: Terry Pratchett was the author of the Discworld series and other books.
