Keeps up the same level of quality as the previous few. A little disappointed that agnus never got a chance to shine.

Granny Weatherwarx et Nanny Ogg souhaitent recréer un convent de sorcières, avec l’aide d’Agnès, partie depuis à Ankh-Morpok et devenue chanteuse d’opéra, qui semble hanté par un fantôme, de base pacifique, mais maintenant meurtrier.

Rien de plus à dire- j’adore toujours autant Pratchett et ses délires, ses personnages sont vivants, colorés et funs à suivre, et j’ai beaucoup aimé la réécriture du Fantôme de l’Opéra.

Истинска наслада за душата! И много, мноого смях!
funny hopeful lighthearted slow-paced

Pratchett designed this book specifically for me. A parody of Phantom of the Opera, Granny Weatherwax having a crisis of faith, and a truly fantastic exploration and twisting of tropes and trappings of opera and musicals. I loved it. 

Also, I am adopting Agnes Nitt. She's mine now. Thank you. 

Amit said to me today “every time I look at you you have your phone in front of you!” I looked back at him and asked “what would you expect me to be doing?” And he said “oh I don’t know, how about existing?”

It was funny to me. These books are kind of flying through my brain because they make life easier. They have a lot of the kind of punny humor that makes me laugh out loud, with a profound thought in each one that is enough to make me grow a little more.

I was honestly sad when I realized that Marget wasn’t going to be in this one, but I guess in Lords and Ladies she had her character climax where she became what she was always meant to be. I still hope she might come back again, because though I laugh at Nanny and enjoy Granny in a kind of weird way, I felt like Marget spoke to me the most.

I guess I just need to find my crossbow and keyhole.

As for this book, it is all about masks. I REALLY liked the idea that when you put on a mask it hid one version of you but brought out another - though both are true. I find that in myself - the me that I am a one in the morning (which is when I’m writing this) and I’m all alone and have absolutely no obligations to anyone what so ever, and me during the day, ESPECIALLY at Jacy’s dance class when all I want to do is watch her be cute but end up blabbing to the other moms instead. Both are me - both are different.

But like Granny said, never have a mask that you wouldn’t feel comfortable washing floors in.

Fun book, not as good as the other Witches adventures. Missed Magrat, Granny and Nanny on their own just aren't as fun.
