A Hat Full of Sky

Terry Pratchett — 2005

Eleven-year-old Tiffany Aching wants to be a real witch. But a real witch doesn't casually step out of her body, leaving it empty. Tiffany does - and there's something just waiting for a handy body to take over. Something ancient and horrible, which can't die. Now Tiffany's got to learn to be a real witch really quickly, with the help of arch-witch Mistress Weatherwax and the truly amazing Miss Level. Oh, yes. And the Nac Mac Feegle - the rowdiest, toughest, smelliest bunch of fairies ever to be thrown out of Fairyland for being drunk at two in the afternoon. They'll fight anything- *'Oodles of dry wit, imagination and shrewdly observed characters' Independent on Sunday*'Fantastically inventive and humorous fantasy adventure. Fans will be sky high' Sunday Times

I found this book much more enjoyable and a lot funnier than the first book. Regardless Pratchett is a comedic genius and his books are always a joy to read. I love this series especially.

3.5. This was going swimmingly and then the resolution to the main conflict made me suuuuper anxious (warning if you have anxiety about death, lol) and made me forget the parts I liked? But there were a lot of parts I liked! Tiffany is a good heroine, and the Nac Mac Feegle are a lot of fun, and the world of magic and witches is really interesting and engrossing.

It was good. It lacked a bit of the charm the first one had, but still good.

I just love this series. Tiffany learns so much in this book that you can't help but learn it with her. This is only the second Terry Pratchett book I've read (I previously read The Wee Free Men) but his books are really enjoyable. Definitely recommend it
