Publisher's summary

It starts with whispers.

Then someone picks up a stone.

Finally, the fires begin.

When people turn on witches, the innocents suffer. . . .

Tiffany Aching has spent years studying with senior witches, and now she is on her own. As the witch of the Chalk, she performs the bits of witchcraft that aren't sparkly, aren't fun, don't involve any kind of wand, and that people seldom ever hear about: She does the unglamorous work of caring for the needy.

But someone - or something - is igniting fear, inculcating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Aided by her tiny blue allies, the Wee Free Men, Tiffany must find the source of this unrest and defeat the evil at its root - before it takes her life. Because if Tiffany falls, the whole Chalk falls with her.

Chilling drama combines with laugh-out-loud humor and searing insight as beloved and bestselling author Terry Pratchett tells the high-stakes story of a young witch who stands in the gap between good and evil.

Trrry Pratchett at his best.

Great story. This is a fun and wonderful book, even for the for fifth time. Enjoy

unsurpassed audio entertainment

Terry Pratchett is a brilliant observer of the human condition and a genius wordsmith.
Stephen Briggs has more voices than a choir and delivered with a lot more clarity. This audio book is worth a listen for the voices of the NacMacFeagles alone. But there is more, much more!

LOVE this series...love

love this series . .. Love all all of Terry Pratchett books . . 🤗

Tiffany Aching grows up

This one's darker than the previous Tiffany books and deals with sad/mature topics (in Terry Pratchett's usual candid and compassionate-but-funny way).

Beautiful, fun, snarky

Another amazing masterpiece by Terry Pratchett. this series is phenomenal for any age, as long as you have a sense of humor.

Outstanding Performance for a Great Book!

I love the Tiffany Aching series of Discworld and this was the delightful and funny ending, you would expect from Terry Pratchett. Stephen Briggs' performance on this series is phenomenal! The characters come to life - especially the Nac Mac Feegles, whom I adore in part due to Stephen's performance. Love!

What a Christmas present!

Nothing better than some Tiffany Aching in your stocking. Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs truly make magic.

Excellent pratchett as usual

Narration and story line are excellent as usual. Just when you think you have the story figured out, and can tell what will happen next, you are pleasantly surprised. Excellent for binge listening.

Terry, Tiffany, and Stephen...

there are no better combinations. Clever and funny. Crivens, isn't that enough! Great for family-time.

Where does I Shall Wear Midnight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my favorite.

What other book might you compare I Shall Wear Midnight to and why?

Can one compare Pratchett to anyone? Well, I suppose Christopher Moore's "Fool" is about on par.

Have you listened to any of Stephen Briggs’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not, but I found the performance to be quite enjoyable.

If you could rename I Shall Wear Midnight, what would you call it?

Any additional comments?

I wanted to listen to something funny, and witty and worth my time. This book fit the bill on all three counts. In fact, I laughed so much as I listened on my iPod that my husband kept asking me to recount lines from the book as we were driving up the Northern California coast. Now he wants to listen to it. Good choice. You can't go wrong with Pratchett, in my opinion.
