 CarltonC | Apr 12, 2024 |   pianistpalm91 | Apr 7, 2024 |  ) Oshanter | Jan 23, 2024 | I still cannot encourage you strongly enough to read the Tiffany Aching arc of DiscWorld books (starting with [b:The Wee Free Men|34494|The Wee Free Men (Discworld, #30; Tiffany Aching, #1)|Terry Pratchett|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1431752606s/34494.jpg|62580]), if you haven't already. There is much gentle wisdom and humor to be found in all of them. (And the audiobook versions are perhaps even more enjoyable, as well.) (  ) Treebeard_404 | Jan 23, 2024 | ) ltsmith | Dec 30, 2023 |
... But in The Shepherd's Crown, I've come to realize what it is about these books that makes them so special and endeared them so well to Pratchett's own heart: it's their compassion. ...  But Shepherd's Crown is still recognizably Pratchett, from the giggle-fit-inducing footnotes to the stern moral message about selflessness, empathy and caring for others. And there's just as much of a moral stance in the way the book addresses the death of a longtime pillar of the Discworld: People around the Disc sense that something pivotal has happened. They stop to acknowledge the gravity of the moment. They pay their respects. And then they return to their lives.  Pratchett, with his sardonic inventiveness, social satire, play on language, deep feeling for landscape and love of what is best in human nature, had less critical praise than he deserved. His heroes and heroines are not royalty in disguise, but thieves, con-men, shepherds, soldiers and midwives. In his championing of the ordinary, the sensible and the slightly silly he went against the grain – and never more so than in creating Tiffany Aching. Above all, though, “The Shepherd’s Crown” — like all of Pratchett’s fiction — stresses the importance of helping others. Beyond this, I think that Pratchett’s farewell advice would be to follow his witches’ sensible principle: “Just do the work you find in front of you and enjoy yourself.” Nothing in Pratchett stays still and his inventive energy, book after book after book, is astounding. Yet, as I say, the increasing complexity of the characters is accompanied by an increasing likableness as well as interest. Sisältyy tähän:Lyhennelty täällä:PalkinnotDistinctionsNotable Lists

A good book of endings, not Pratchett’s best, as some of the humour was overused, and the narrative was very linear, but very enjoyable, and sad. (
