"Fans will also find plenty of well-loved elements: exuberant wordplay, vaudevillian humor, the rambunctious blue-skinned Nac Mac Feegle, and-beneath it all-a susurrus of shivery archetype and myth. Pratchett's final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Beloved fantasy writer Pratchett died this spring, and his dedicated and immense fan base will want his final novel. His storytelling is pure magic, and fans will grieve anew that this is the last of it. Stock up." - Booklist "Readers young and old will savor this tale that emphasizes the values of hard work and standing firm in the face of evil. An exceptionally crafted finale from one of the great." - School Library Journal (starred review) "There is something deeply suitable about the significant focus here on legacy and what is left behind.


Savor this one; it's literally the last authorized book coming." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "Terry was one of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest." - George R. R. Martin "A Terry Pratchett book is a small miracle." - Neil Gaiman "Discworld is one of the very most fabulous creations in all of literature." - Patrick Ness "No writer in my lifetime has given me as much pleasure and happiness." - A.


S. Byatt "A writer of monumental talent." - Rick Riordan "His fantasies sit alongside--and are the equals of--those of Rabelais, Voltaire, Swift, Kurt Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams.But whereas all these are neatly arranged on the bookshelves, my Pratchetts are strewn under the beds, in the bathrooms, the glove compartments. They have shopping lists, takeaway orders, and Scrabble scores scribbled on the fly leaves. They were part of life." - Frank Cottrell Boyce "Elegiac and comforting, funny and serious." - Horn Book Magazine.
