Review:
"This isn't just a great Discworld book, it's extraordinary ... A magnificent sign-off." -- Kat Brown Daily Telegraph "From the shadow of dementia, a brilliant novel shines: Terry Pratchett's last book is a funny, fearless farewell ... This is a book worth reading twice in quick succession." -- Christopher Stevens Daily Mail "A joyful sign-off from a master of fantasy fiction ... High-octane literary enjoyment." -- Nicholas Tucker Independent "Terry Pratchett was never so witty, direct and generous as in this, his final Discworld novel." -- Amanda Craig Guardian "The Shepherd's Crown is a sometimes sad, often funny and eminently suitable testament to the life and career of Terry Pratchett." -- David Barnett Independent
