« Le vent hurlait. La foudre lardait le pays comme un assassin maladroit... La nuit était aussi noire que l’intimité d’un chat. Une de ces nuits, peut-être, où les dieux manipulent les hommes comme des pions sur l’échiquier du destin. Au cœur des éléments déchaînés luisait un feu, telle la folie dans l’œil d’une fouine. Il éclairait trois silhouettes voûtées. Tandis que bouillonnait le chaudron, une voix effrayante criailla : “Quand nous revoyons-nous, toutes les trois ?” Une autre voix plus naturelle, répondit : “Ben moi, j’peux mardi prochain.” » Rois, nains, bandits, démons, héritiers du trône, bouffons, trolls, usurpateurs, fantômes, histrions et tables tournantes : rien ne vous est épargné. Shakespeare n’en aurait pas rêvé tant. Ou peut-être si ? Avec, en exclusivité, le ravitaillement en vol d’un balai de sorcière.

My favourite so far in my re-read. Always loved the witches. The witches reminded me so much of certain relatives of mine - guess I never really appreciated that when I first read it growing up. So many genuinely laugh out loud moments.

Early Discworld novels are a little more rough around the edges, it they still have their charms. I’ve skipped the witches books for too long

Wyrd Sisters

This one was one of the best ones in the series so far. Nice, self-contained story. Interesting characters with lots of funny plays on stereotypes, combined with references to the real world.

Eh
I didn't like this one as much. I found it hard to follow the plot and I disliked how a lot of characters were .. characterised. I also suspect that a lot of references went right over my head, since I haven't really read any Shakespeare, and I've ignored all summaries of Shakespeare that ever showed up in my life.

Solid, vivid and with a fun plot, but a bit flat philosophy-wise
4 stars
A great continuation of the storyline of witches, but this one is about craft, betrayal and Agatha Christy-esque finale. Colourful and interesting read, but – as we know – Pratchett could and did do books where it's all that plus a lot of depth.
I did love the quote where he compares Ankh-Morpork with a drain where everyone ends up and can't escape. As a relatively newfound Londoner, it strikes a chord.

I just love those witches
5 stars
What an immensely entertaining book. I didn’t get all the references but enough for it to be very entertaining. So well written in it’s craziness—one can barely believe it. I’m not even sure which witch I liked best. They’re all super! I’m really glad I started into the Discworld with this subseries.

This is actually 3-1/2 stars...
Terry Pratchett is always fun, though I admit to being a little disappointed with this one. It's not the author's fault, though, that I seem to prefer the stories that take place in Ankh-Morpork and involve the Night Watch. They're so much funnier than his witches, though I did enjoy Nanny Ogg. Oh, and DEATH is hardly in this one, and I missed him, too.
