A young witch-to-be named Tiffany teams up with the Wee Free Men, a clan of six-inch-high blue men, to rescue her baby brother and ward off a sinister invasion from Fairyland.
Great book! I love the Nac Mac Feegle. Their way of seeing the world and how they not understand big chops is hilarious. The book gets a bit weird in the end, but I still would recommend it.
I was so reluctant to start a book that doesn't center on the Ramtop witches. Mainly because I didn't want to read too much about anyone who's not Granny Weatherwax. But I'm glad I still read this, I like it a lot in so many different ways, it feels like a really well rounded story!

Tal vez mi entrega menos favorita del Mundodisco hasta el momento posiblemente en buena medida porque es una novela que no pone nada fácil el traducirla. En la versión en español optan por hacer hablar a los Nac Mac Feegles en una especie de asturiano con toques gallegos que me sacaba constantemente de la historia. Y no creo que sea una mala decisión de traducción, simplemente me parece que no había solución buena. En general las novelas del Mundodisco más orientadas a un público juvenil las disfruto menos y esta no ha sido una excepción. Pero aun así sigue siendo una novela de Pratchett (#speakHisName) que siempre te deja una sensación calentita por dentro y te reconcilia un poco con el mundo.
Content warning minor spoiler (themes)
It‘s one of those books where you know, nothing really bad will happen. And the Nac Mac Feegle were fun. There were some parts that I didn‘t get or maybe they were inconsistent, especially towards the end (the dream mechanics/how dromes work)

The Wee Free Men themselves are a delight, and Tiffany is a promising new hero.
