By the time you get to that point you will probably feel a need to go back to the first chapter to remind youself of it.The second thing that annoyed me abit was that the chapters seemed rather long. But don't panic (like I did,) the first chapter is a chunk taken out of the end of the book. It seems like an ending to another story as Tiffany deals with an extreme winter in her chalk country, with even her father respectfully counting on her as a witch.

This chapter is written like a retrospective and seems out of place ~ unlike the discworld stories we have come to feel so comfortable with. I don't normally have any criticisms of Pratchett, but I was abit disappointed by this book firstly because it began with a chapter that seemed entirely out of kink with PTerrys style and with the flow of the story. So bewarned: here be possible SPOILERS if you haven't yet got a copy.
