My full piece for Ladies of Literature Vol 2! Featuring Susan Sto Helit from Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. If you haven’t read Discworld before, I can’t recommend it enough. His characters and stories will leave an impression on you all while making you laugh and think at the same time.

Susan was sensible. It was, she knew, a major character flaw. It did not make you popular, or cheerful, and--this seemed to her to be the most unfair bit--it didn't even make you right.

“She remembered the knowledge. She remembered her mind feeling as cold as ice and limitless as the night sky. She remembered being summoned into reluctant existence at the moment the first creature lived, in the certain knowledge that she would outlive life until the last being in the universe passed to its reward, when it would then be her job, figuratively speaking, to put the chairs on the tables and turn the lights off. She remembered the loneliness.”

Tiffany Aching and You, the white kitten she gives Granny Weatherwax in Wintersmith. I loved this series so much 🖤 GNU Terry Pratchett

Tiffany Aching might be my favourite child protagonist ever, and the whole Wee Free Men series is fantastic. She reminds me of Susan Sto Helit (intelligent, practical, proactive) except younger and angrier.
I hate that there will never be another Terry Pratchett book. This is for you, sir. You deserved the knighthood.

“It was one of those days that you put away and remember. High on the downs, above her parents’ farm, Tiffany Aching felt as though she could see to the end of the world. The air was as clear as crystal, and in the brisk wind the dead leaves from the autumn swirled around the ash trees as they rattled their branches to make way for the new spring growth.”

“All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!”
- Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
