Wee Free Men Chapters 13-14 Discussion

We reach the end of Tiffany's story, her showdown with the Queen and her discovery of the true power of the land she holds in her bones through her Granny. We also get an introduction to the most respected witch on the Disc, Granny Weatherwax, and Tiffany reminds Roland who the real boss of the land is. All's well that ends well, and Tiffany understands that she has a duty to the land, and to the borders.

Along with the discussion, we should probably decide what to read next so that people can procure the books. I like the look of both of our current suggestions, and if those who haven't contributed yet think of a title they're interested in sharing, by all means put it on our list and we can take a vote or something.

Wee Free Men Chapters 11-12 Discussion

Tiffany learns how to play the Queen's game at managing dreams, learns about the indestructability of the Nac Mac Feegle, and receives a devastating blow when, despite all her efforts, she finds herself unable to save her brother. My apologies for the tardiness of this post, it's been a busy weekend, but here it is. I'm glad you all are enjoying the wordplay. As a bit of a word player myself, I'm always so fond of reading the work of a master of the game. Let the discussion commence!

Wee Free Men Chapters 9-10 Discussion

Tiffany learns more of Fairyland, what there is to fear and what the Queen does to those who cross her. She also finds the lost son of the Baron, Roland, and resolves to bring him back home again also. Fairyland, while not quite what she expected, is becoming quite the challenge as she works to help her brother and Roland and keep the Queen at bay long enough to get out. Let the discussion commence!

Wee Free Men Chapters 7-8 Discussion

I apologize for being late with this post, but I've had a busy few days and a difficult week. Anyway, this week's chapters give Tiffany and the Feegles the information they need to rescue Wentworth...at a price. Tiffany becomes kelda, does a bit of political maneuvering to keep things running smoothly, learns about her own abilities with First Sight and Second Thoughts, and enters into the maddeningly unreal land of Fairy, impatient for the trees to smarten up and look like the real thing. Thoughts?
