Not my favorite among Pratchett’s books but it’s an OK novel. The old godmother Desiderata dies and leaves her wand and instructions to the youngest of the local witches, Magrat. According to Desiderata’s will, Magrat must travel to Genua to stop a young girl from marrying a prince. Of course, the ...
I think this book gives me a good idea of what the Discworld series as a whole is like, and I can pretty much sum it up in one word: cute. Well, maybe one more word: quirky. Quirky and cute.
