Wings by Terry Pratchett

3.0

Finished the series because Wings was only like 5 hours long on audio. It had an ending. If you read the second book, you know the ending. It was fine.

In this final volume, Masklin and his two companions have adventures, meet Grandson Richard (39), and enable the nomes to realize their destiny, become safe, and go home if they wish. It's a good conclusion to the series, with many more humorous touches and a happy ending.

If you liked the other two volumes, you can confidently embark on this one, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Com'è volata la lettura di questa piccola (ah ah!) trilogia! Una mini (ok la smetto XD) odissea che porta il popolo dei Niomi dai piccoli reparti dell'Emporio (Santa Occasionissima!) fino all'Esterno per poi scoprire mondi sempre più vasti... e non immaginate quanto!
In questa serie ci ho trovato un po' di tutto: un po' degli Sgraffignoli di Mary Norton, un pizzico de La Collina dei Conigli di Richard Adams, e, a sorpresa, anche qualcosina della Guida Galattica per gli Autostoppisti.
Ma soprattutto ho trovato tanto, tanto Terry Pratchett! Quel Pratchett che con ironia ti racconta la verità sulla società e sulla natura umana, che attraverso i Niomi ti descrive le nostre stesse contraddizioni e i nostri stessi limiti. Ma si ride.
Come disse una volta Sherlock, "it's funny because it's true.".

For me, the weakest of the trilogy, even though it has most adventurous plot advancement. But I prefer the more philosophical bokk one and two. I'm not sure about the ending as well. It's good enough, I guess.
