Terry does Vampires. Magrat has had a child, and called her Esme after Granny Weatherwax. Granny Weatherwax has a sense of something wrong but it has her ruffled and she can sense something that makes her wary. It's not one of his best but it's a fun read.

TL;DR – Basically, I loved everything in and about this book. The End.------There's a lot going on in this book. There's vampires who are trying to become modern calling themselves vampyres.

I almost always enjoy a Pratchet and I really enjoy Granny Weatherwax, so this one was fun. The ending went on too long - too much of a good thing - but that is a minor quibble.

I've only read this one once before, and that ten years ago, so I didn't remember much, and didn't remember the Mac Mac Feeble were in it. And Greebo. Plus the whole Omnian question, and the christening. A delight, but by no means a simple one. Is there another writer who makes me feel so kindly tow...
