Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Maigrat have fairy godmother-dom thrust upon them.

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.

A review from Goodreads

3 stars

I thought this one started really slow for me. The very beginning was interesting but then later the book made me very sleepy. It started to become better when I was 80% into it. It has many fun and interesting dialogues (Terry Pratchett's style) but I thought the rhythm of the narrative a bit dull. Overall, it was a fun story in the end.

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.
