Adding to the cast is Nanny Ogg, the opposite of Granny with her many partners, children and grandchildren who loves a drink. We also finally get tot meet more of the neigmatic witches of the Disc. We get to head back to the Ramtops, last seen in ‘Equal Rites’ in the village of Bad Ass. I did however still have a great time reading it. I thought I would enjoy this one the most so far out of all the books but this one fell a little flatter than usual for me. This book pulled in many elements of Macbeth, Hamlet and most of all Pratchett’s wonderful storytelling. I think it’s clear to everyone now that I love the Discworld and most of all I love the witches. When the witches are drawn into this brutally ambitious plot and forced to meddle, which is not a witches business, it is down to Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Margarat Garlick and a ghost or two to save the Kingdom. Good evening fellow readers and welcome back to the Disc! Today in the Discworld Project we will have witches, a murder most foul (that didn’t happen) and the return of my favourite Discworld matriarch, Granny Weatherwax.Īll in one night in the kingdom of Lancre high in the Ramtops, three witches gather on the moors (quite to the confusion of one Esme Weatherwax), a king is brutally killed and a child is stolen away to return when the time is right. People don’t have to invite witches, they just know we’ll turn up if we want to.’
