While I felt Pratchett slightly flubbed the landing here, the rest of this book was endlessly entertaining and just SO great. Nanny & Granny are officially two of my favorite characters in all of literature, and frankly I want to hang out with them constantly. All the Shakespeare references were super fun and clever, the entire plotline was excellent, and basically this was just fantastic. Definitely my favorite of the Discworld books thus far (admittedly this is only Discworld 6 out of 40, but STILL) and one I can see myself reading over and over again. Loved it.

I enjoyed this a lot, I thought the Shakespeare stuff was very fun even though a lot of the references went over my head (shoutout the online Discworld annotations). And, I liked the witches loads.
