I love your method for catching Feegles. I am tempted to give it a try, but I am afraid I would merely capture the local drunks. They don't wear kilts, nor are they tattooed in blue ink, so there isn't much attraction to capturing them. <br /><br />Yes, Ms. Treason does have the psychology down, doesn't she? That's one of the things I really like about Pratchett's witches - they do more thinking than they do magic. <br /><br />Roland has come a fair distance, hasn't he? In Book 1 he was a bit of a brat. Now, in Book 3 he's a friend and a penpal, and actually thinking of others. Makes me want to root for him. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-59919464638101158032013-09-16T16:00:22.511-04:002013-09-16T16:00:22.511-04:00I'm afraid maybe even the dumbest witch hunter...I'm afraid maybe even the dumbest witch hunters know you're supposed to either drown or burn witches, unfortunately :). Then again, maybe there is no limit to the dumbness. I had forgotten about the mention of the "Hero". I hope that's Roland, because it will seem odd if it's just someone who pops up out of nowhere! I agree the Tiffany flakes were made a bit more serious by how they inspired Tiffany's hatred of him in the prologue (I assume those were his "special snowflakes"). It was a bit funny though, that none of Tiffany's friends even noticed.

Unfortunately most thoughts seemed to leave my simple brain at twice the speed they entered! For example, I'd forgotten about the Hiver *bbrrrr!*<br />This Wintersmith is a bit of a potential stalker. What with following Tiffany around and now making little snowflake pictures. That's the sort of the thing that starts off making you think 'aww, how sweet' and ends up with the chalk hills covered in a whole load of snow.<br />Definitely with the teenage angst - like stomping out when she was getting a bit of a telling off! And, then to find out the little blue guys are reading your personal diary entries - *dies of embarrassment*.<br />The aunts - they're terrible, they're selling everything off the pair of swines!<br />Lynn :D<br />Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.com
