Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of The Shepherd's Crown is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Steven Cree (Outlander; A Discovery of Witches) voices the Nac Mac Feegles. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
THE FINAL DISCWORLD NOVEL
Deep in the Chalk, something is stirring. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots. An old enemy is gathering strength.
This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. Now Tiffany stands between the light and the dark, the good and the bad.
As the fairy horde prepares for invasion, Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land. Her land.
There will be a reckoning...
The Shepherd's Crown is the fifth book in the Tiffany Aching series, and the final book in the Discworld series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Great audio book
Having previously read the book I chose this title as an introduction to audible.
It was a great listen. Indira Varma's narration was excellent.
The only disappointing thing was that the volume of Bill Nighy's comments was lower than that of the main narration, making it a bit hard to hear at times. ,

A final novel beautifully sealed.
Another fine blend of a brilliant story and narrator. This was Sir Terry’s final novel. It is beautifully sealed by Rob Wilkins’ ‘what might have been’ afterword. One small quibble - the Stephen Cree Nac Mac Feegles are brilliantly voiced but their volume levels seemed unusually low at times. I’ve now finished listening to the entire Penguin Discworld audiobooks series. They’ve all helped me appreciate still more STP’s astounding gift for voice and dialogue. Excellent. (Michael).

GNU STP
Reading this book is a bit of a painful experience…
Things happen that are very emotional and there are a lot of throwbacks to the entire discworld series but at every turn you feel that STP is struggling… if he had written this book at the height of his writing prowess it would have been so much better but in its not beings so we do get closer to the struggle with the embuggerance and the power and determination of the man himself
It is an immensely valuable read regardless… a crown of sorts…

That’s it… Mission Complete
I’m finally there… the end of the Discworld.
Sir Terry’s final story.
It feels weird… well, wyrd any way
Character arcs has ended and although there is so much more I want to know… it will only ever be in my head. Eldrich. Delightful, Painful. Heartbreaking. Brilliant.
As if, there would be any other review!
I hope that wherever you went Terry, you’re happy.

Another great performance, pity about the sound levels
Another excellent performance from the voice actors. However, particularly in the earlier chapters, the volume levels of the different performances don’t match. The Nac Mac Fegals are particularly quiet. Apart from that, great.

Have your hankie ready…
The last book written by TP and it shows. It feels like a long and loving goodbye yet not morose but hopeful. Beautifully narrated and utterly engaging. Make sure you listen to the Afterword. With a hanky.

Amazing
Indira Varma was made to narrate these books. Especially the female voices like in the 10-12 witches novels. I love reading the Discworld series and had to listen to to audiobooks after an accident. Thanks Indira, you have made listening to audiobooks a pleasure.
