I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry PratchettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I Shall Wear Midnight takes this series up another notch but for me it lost some of the joy that I took from the first three novels. That may not be an issue for many and it's by no means a deal breaker when it comes to the series rather a realisation that this may be working from some just not for me. That said we get Tiffany now clearly established as the Witch of The Chalk and respected in other regions but as her former "friend" Ronald is to be wed the speculation on choices made come to the fore. Of course as things start to go wrong and in some cases very very wrong beginning with the death of the Baron (Roland's Father) the locals begin to turn and echoes of the past (when witches were hunted and killed) surface among her people. A trip to Ankh-Morpork, advice from many a fellow witch and the realisation that this is a fight Tiffany has to face herself as a centuries old creature full of malevolence infects those around her.
As part of the Tiffany Aching series the story works but it loses a star from me just because there is a little unwelcomed effort required to get to the next novel in the series.
