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?

I have actually managed to stay caught up with the reading but there isn't so much to comment on. I am really enjoying the story, much more so than the firs Prachett book I read. I can't remember the title but I think it was the first in the discworld series.

I like the way Prachett plays with words and his creativity in the story. Tiffany's love of words, reading an entire dictionary, is the start. The Scottish sort of dialect that the Wee Free Men use is another. If I go back and look at the story again I'm sure I can find more. There's just lots of wordplay that you might not notice at first, especially since it's a pretty light read in general.

Well, I need to finish the next 2 chapters before I comment anymore. Since I'm on break now I'm trying to catch up with a bunch of stuff.
