Meet Granny Weatherwax, the most highly regarded non-leader a coven of non-social witches could ever have. Generally, these loners don't get involved in anything, must less royal intrigue. But then there are those times they can't help it. As Granny Weatherwax is about to discover, it's a lot harder to stir up trouble in the castle than some theatrical types would have you think. Even when you've got a few unexpected spells up your sleeve.

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.

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.
