In this last Tiffany Aching adventure, Granny Weatherwax, the "not-head-witch," has her final encounter with Death, leaving her cottage--and status--to Tiffany. Granny's death weakens barriers between earth and fairy worlds, and renegade elves begin to wreak havoc. Elegiac and comforting, funny and serious, the book is not quite polished but is otherwise vintage Pratchett.
