I loved this book. It's Pratchett. If you don't know what that means, you just need to read one to understand it. Pratchett books always have lots of pop culture, science and literature references. There's introspection on life and everything in it, from creaking doors to societal oppression and ste...
I had a grand time with this one, filled as it is with all sorts of doings of Witches, Royalty, Morris dancing and the like. Most of all, Mr. Pratchett remembers that along with all of the glamour about Faerie, there are some real dangers, all of which are used to great effect. Depending on how much...
I was told you didn't have to read the books in order but I insisted that I had to. I'm glad I did.While a lot of the books have been stand alone so far, this book really did need the previous events in some earlier books to appreciate it more.Nanny and Granny and Elves... Oh My!Death makes a cameo!...
This book, I feel, marks a change in the series. Until this point, the books have stood pretty well alone. Characters may have appeared in more than one book, but understanding their actions has not depended on having read the previous book, but here that changes. They also start getting somewhat lo...
Once upon a time, my boyfriend and I carpooled on a commute that was 1.5 hours plus each way. I don't drive, so I provided the read-aloud entertainment. We got through about a book a month.. . .and then I got a different job, and we stopped carpooling, and our read-alouds ground to an almost complet...
Pratchett does faeries - and these aren't the nice kind, these are the pretty, smiling, want to kill you kind. But they're on Granny Weatherwax's turf, so it is a great showdown. Loved how Magrat gets her warrior-woman on, as only she can. One of my favorite involving the Witches.
I have found that, in general, I prefer Pratchett's novels involving the Witches of Lancre to those involving the denizens of Ankh-Morpork. Other fans' mileage may vary.In this particular installment of the Discworld series, Pratchett pits the aforementioned witches against the elven lords and ladi...
Yes, I've read a lot of these now, but they don't get less enjoyable. This one is about the witches and the (evil) elves. It's very funny and jokes with time-space continuums (how people might have lived had they made other choices), how to become royalty, with A Midsummer Night's Dream and comments...

That's a good un. *** July 15 2014 What we have here is: A Midsummer Night's Dream, an impending apocalypse (by elves), a young, rather soppy, witch's efforts to find a place for herself as a Queen of Lancre, the courting of Nanny Ogg, and a romantic backstory for Granny Weatherwax...
