Tiffany Aching is back and this time she's meeting Jack Frost on his own terms. The Wintersmith is the personification of the one who brings and creates winter. He embodies winter, everything about winter is him.
The book reads in an unsual way. It's not the standard linear format we're used to from Terry. It starts with one possible ending, walks away from it to a much earlier time and Tiffany is taken to watch a ceremony where she foolhardily joins in and ends up replacing Summer and being pursued by her lover who is Winter - The WIntersmith.
In a way this is a lot like Reaper Man where Life is springing up in strange places. In this book its from Tiffany's feet or the Cornucopia. In this book Tiffany is becoming more of an adult, her powers as a Witch are increasing.
You get to see stories behind fables as The Wintersmith follows the idea of what makes a man from childrens rhymes and stories. You get great throwaway jokes that you might miss the 1st time or even the 2nd or 3rd time but you know every time you read this book you will find something new.
