Anyone read this yet? I have...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I liked it but it didn't rock my world. I was dissappointed by the absence of Granny Aching. Who, I felt, always gave a bit of heart to the other books. The Aching stories, espeically in first book, added a sense of nostalliger (can't spell- sad-look-backness) to the novels, you miss granny even though you never met her. Also she shapes tiffany. you understand why Tiffany acts becuase we know how Granny Aching acts.

I felt that Wintersmith, like Hat Full of Sky, suffered from having the 'threat of a threat' rather than an actuall one. The book was about how the winstersmith was [i:1eef44b111]going[/i:1eef44b111] to challenge her, rather than her actually overcoming challenges.
