Preceded by Feet of Clay, followed by Jingo. With the Hogfather out of the way, there seem to be a whole lot more minor gods and goddesses around than there used to be - and perhaps the disappearance of a tooth fairy might shed some light on the whole ordeal? Teatime, a creative but overly zealous young assassin, who has already hypothesized how to kill many anthropomorphic personifications in his spare time. Meanwhile, the Auditors' latest plan is to hire the Assassins' Guild to kill the Hogfather, the Discworld's Santa Claus analog. Susan, Death's granddaughter, is trying to distance herself from her supernatural side by being normal (which is abnormal for the Discworld) and taking the position of governess in the Gaiter household, where she tries to instill some rationality into her young charges. The 20th Discworld novel and the 4th in the Death theme, now becoming more like the Death-Susan theme. It's up to Death to take up the reins-otherwise the sun won't shine tomorrow. But when the fat man goes missing, someone has to sit in. ![]() ![]() It's the most wonderful time of the year, Hogswatchnight, when the Hogfather himself dons his red suit and climbs in his sleigh pulled by-of course-four hogs, to shower gifts across Discworld. ![]()

Then, I read The Host, and was quite surprised to realize Ms. I absolutely despised Twilight – although to be fair, I only read the first seven chapters before deciding there were too many great books to read without wasting my time on teenaged girls helplessly mooning after sparkly vampires.
