Feeling seen.

For me, this book is about feeling seen. It shines a light on people overlooked, which is a beautiful theme to tackle when dealing with ghosts.

Here’s to the Women

Revisado: 04-25-24

I love that this is Terry’s legacy—the last gift he gave us. A celebration of young women and old women and self assured women and stuttering women and thin women and fat women and women who respect each other and women who challenge each other. Women who choose career and women who choose love. Women who choose solitude and women who choose companionship. No woman is singled out as the ideal or correct way to be a woman. This book and series celebrates the many ways in which women demonstrate strength.

The Tiffany Aching saga and the associated Witches saga are a masterclass in how to celebrate women and raise strong ones.

The performance by all the actors was tremendous. I was sobbing at the dedication alone. And yet, at the end of the tale, I was dry eyed. I was hopeful. This book is such a beautiful treatise on the value of a life and a legacy while also a celebration of the future.

If I took one message from this book it’s to learn from our past and to hold it as sacred, but to always look forward and forge your own way. Here’s to Tiffany and to Esmeralda and to all the other amazing, powerful women from Ankh-Morpork to The Chalk to Lancre.

Best in the series

Revisado: 07-17-21

I’ve read Fry’s previous two books in this series and, while I enjoyed them, this is by far the best one. It’s the complete history of Troy I’ve always wanted made accessible and fun through Fry’s dry wit. Additionally, it is unflinching when it needs to be, which I appreciate deeply.
