Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Maigrat have fairy godmother-dom thrust upon them.
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.
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.
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.
Los toques humorísticos de las brujas me han encantado, pero es cierto que en un momento se empieza a hacer muy pesada la lectura
Aún así divertidisima
