After the recent marriage and "retirement" of Magrat Garlic, Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax find themselves without a third, and set their minds on Agnes Nitt...who promptly runs away to the city and joins the Opera. It's a fun homage to "Phantom of the Opera" within the universe of Discworld with Nanny being Nanny, Granny being Granny, and Greebo reprising his role as handsome prince from "Witches Abroad". 5 stars for anyone else, 4 stars for Terry Pratchett because, while this is lovely and fun (bonus if you can get the audio version read by Nigel Planer), it's not quite in the same league as some of his others.
funny lighthearted medium-paced

I love that this book was a parody of Phantom of the Opera.
The interplay between Esme and Gaytha are always great.
I love Discworld stories.
