Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett (Discworld 35)

Morella reviews Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett, the 35th book in the Discworld series.

“This I choose to do. If there is a price, this I choose to pay. If it is my death, then I choose to die. Where this takes me, there I choose to go. I choose. This I choose to do.”

The thirty-fifth book of Discworld is also the third Tiffany Aching book. The Wintersmith has taken an interest in her, to the detriment of the people on the chalk, and she has to deal with his unwelcome attention.

The lyrics to Steeleye Span's song We Shall Wear Midnight (on the album Wintersmith, inspired by the Discworld novel of the same name) make me want to scream. I have so many emotions about Tiffany Aching and Terry Pratchett and I don't even know how to put them into words.

I ran into this album shortly after I got diagnosed with ADHD, but have long enjoyed Terry's Discworld novels, and the Tiffany Aching novels are particularly good. This particular song hits somewhat hard if you have gaps in how your head works that make it hard to perform what society considers normal.

"That was the big problem about being a witch. It was up to you. It was always up to you." - Wintersmith

"A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest, Granny Weatherwax had once told her, because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her." - Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith

Opened the Tiffany Aching ebook omnibus to where I left off reading. Wintersmith, Chapter 1. Very appropriate for North America right now🥶🌨❄️
