Description
The fourth in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.
As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone—or something—is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root. Aided by the tiny-but-tough Wee Free Men, Tiffany faces a dire challenge, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. . . .

Both Terry Pratchett and Piers Anthony create highly detailed worlds populated by a variety of well-developed characters that keep the pages turning through the use of humor and lots of dialogue. While Anthony's humor focuses on punning and wordplay, Pratchett parodies literature and elements of contemporary society. -- Krista Biggs

Both Terry Pratchett and Robert Asprin use world-building fantasy/science fiction to comment on the real world in a witty, engaging style.

Pratchett's writing is more descriptive and character-driven; Asprin's more fast-paced and plot-driven. -- Matthew Ransom

Although slightly more grounded than Terry Pratchett, K.J. Parker, a pseudonym of British author Tom Holt, shares the same penchant for mixing humor and philosophical insights about human existence. Both authors create thought-provoking stories populated by engaging characters, but Parker's work is a bit grittier and the humor more subtle. -- Ashley Lyons
Both authors write witty speculative fiction books that take the usual fantasy tropes into new and thought-provoking directions. Terry Pratchett writes for children and adults; David R. Slayton mainly writes for adults. -- CJ Connor
Although Terry Pratchett writes with a lighter, more humorous than Fritz Leiber, Leiber has his own dry wit, including coining the name of the genre in which they both write, "sword and sorcery." Pratchett also follows Leiber in frequent use of a vast city, Ankh-Morpuk, influenced by Leiber's Lankhmar. -- Michael Shumate
Terry Pratchett and Tom Holt both mix humor, fantasy, and satire. Their stories move quickly with lots of shifting between characters and locations. The novels are full of puns and other wordplay, and use fantastical settings to comment on contemporary society. -- Krista Biggs
