I'm three or four chapters, or equivalent of, into the new book. Things happen. I think I can see what Terry was doing here in what he knew was going to be his last book. I won't spoil it for anyone yet to read it. But be prepared for a big shocker in the first thirty pages. And even this is setting up bigger things still. I also get the feeling this last book is Terry back on form again after somewhat losing the Pratchett voice in the previous novels. A worthy farewell. AgProv (talk) 18:52, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

I opined before that I Shall Wear Midnight was his best effort after the illness. He said he'd used up Granny Weatherwax, but apparently he could still do a younger Witch. I wonder if a more retiring lead who tended to be in the third person was easier. TSC is not here yet, of course. --Old Dickens (talk) 21:11, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

apparently released in the USA today (3rd September '15). Is this also true in Canada or do you have to wait for longer? AgProv (talk) 09:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Humm. I may have been shafted by the Canadian book-selling industry again. Having taken my my order, they now say "out of stock online". It could have been here from England by now. --Old Dickens (talk) 00:25, 3 September 2015 (UTC) ...cancelled and ordered from England as I should have in the first place. --Old Dickens (talk) 16:28, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
