By the beloved and bestselling grandmaster of fantasy, Sir Terry Pratchett, this is the third in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.

When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take all the young witch's skill and cunning, as well as help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring.

The five funny and fabulous Tiffany Aching adventures are:
  • The Wee Free Men
  • A Hat Full of Sky
  • Wintersmith
  • I Shall Wear Midnight
  • The Shepherd's Crown
Tiffany's mentors, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, star in the novels Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade, and Carpe Jugulum.

And don't miss Terry Pratchett's hilarious and wise Discworld novel The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents!

Bought because it's so cheap.

Now to find a good deal on the first 34 books.
You could read a number of the books in the series in isolation, and you don't necessarily need to read the books in the order they were published. The Discworld books are split up into different sub-stories, some of which happen at the same time as others, and have intersecting characters and plot threads (sometimes minor connections, but there's a joy in recognizing a character or event from another book popping up that you'd otherwise miss).

Each sub series has a bit of a different feel to it (more absurdist, more grounded, more wizardry vs adventuring, more mystery, vs more drama, etc), so it's suggested that you start with one of the first books of a sub-series to see if you vibe with it before moving on in continuity, or trying another starter novel.

But this book isn't one of those starting points. It's Book #3 of a sub-series that is explicitly Young Adult.
Great book. Tiffany Aching is the best!

I love the concepts Pratchett explores but I find his writing style just awful to read. He's always so annoyingly pleased with himself that his constant references and asides get in the way of the plot and pacing. Reminds me a lot of Neil Gaiman who's another author whose subjects I enjoy but whose writing I hate.

That's really helpful, thanks! For what it's worth, I found this article that delves into it a little:

Oh no! I did 1, 2, and 4 several years ago and don't have the time to revisit them now. A great series that I'll have to finish sometime in the future..

Is this one of those fantasy writers that's also proven to be a pedophile? Like 90% of them are?

Yeah there's a couple of different variations on those. But the short answer is any of the starter novels is a good place to begin. All of them will introduce you to the same silly, satirical and super distinctive author's voice.

I'd personally recommend the Colour of Magic if you want a more high fantasy thing (a jaded, opportunistic wizard takes a job as a local guide for a tourist, but ends up dealing with some apocalyptic magical forces). Mort if you want more of a supernatural thing (a young country boy in need of an apprenticeship ends up working for Death after a career fair). Or Guards! Guards! if you want more mystery thing (a couple of incompetent working class police officers get embroiled in a secret society's political conspiracy).

Only caveat I'll add is that I've started, but not finished, all three of those sub-series. So while the first books are great, I can't comment on whether you're setting yourself up for a good trilogy/quadrilogy or whatever. But again, these are comedy books, so no need to overthink it.
