Lightning speared down again and split a stone a few yards away, filling the air with smoke and the stink of burnt silicon. 'Missed,' he said smugly, and Granny saw his muscles tense as he prepared to bring the sword down. A look of extreme puzzlement crossed his face. He tilted his head sideways and opened his mouth, as if trying to come to terms with a new idea. His sword dropped out of his hand and landed point downwards in the peat. Then he gave a sigh and folded up, very gently, collapsing in a heap at Granny's feet. She gave him a gentle prod with her toe. 'Perhaps you weren't aware of what I was aiming at,' she whispered. 'Mother of the night, indeed!' The soldier who had tried to restrain the man stared in horror at the bloody dagger in his hand, and backed away. 'I-I-I couldn't let. He shouldn't of. It's – it's not right to,' he stuttered."--from Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett.

snaprails , 4 days ago @cynical13 @Narayoni @bookstodon Somebody once asked on social media for the most “kick-ass” female character in books or on film. Mainly the replies involved Lara Croft, Ripley, or Zena. They were wrong of course.
