"A great Pratchett strength is the sense that if the jokes were dropped there would still be a good, engaging fantasy thriller here" Independent "Fantastically inventive and humorous fantasy adventure. Fans will be sky high" Sunday Times "Pratchett's ear for dialogue is superb ... His deep feeling for landscape, animals, kindness and courage make his adventures deeply satisfying as well as clever" -- Amanda Craig The Times "Oodles of dry wit, imagination and shrewdly observed characters" Independent on Sunday "Pratchett weaves a tale that isn't afraid to detour into biting satire or to stop and admire a mot particularly juste, but that keeps returning to the critical question of identity ...By turns hilarious and achingly beautiful, this be just right" Kirkus Reviews
