I really enjoyed this instalment in the Discworld annals - definitely one of my favourites.
La primera vez que lo lei me pareció bastante flojito. Una vez leido en inglés y comparadas las ediciones comprendo que se debe a la cantidad de chistes y dobles sentidos que el traductor se dejó por el camino. Las brujas de Pratchett abandonan su Shakesperiano reino de Lancre y viajan a Genua a hacer de hadas madrinas suplentes. Durante el viaje la personalidad de las brujas desborda la historia y de paso de mofa de Tolkien, los cuentos de hadas tradicionales y hasta los barcos del Misisipi. El contraste en Genua entre la Nueva Orleans que es y la Disneylandia en que se ha convertido esta muy logrado y no deja muy bien al Reino Mágico. Una gran novela.
Volvieron, pero dando un rodeo. Y vieron el elfante.

It will not surprise anyone that I thought this book was great! Absolutely love Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick plays the role of, well, normal person as a contrast really well. I love all the parody of them abroad in foreign lands (I'm very much familiar with that exact group of English travellers that thinks yelling louder makes you more comprehensible) and all of the weird stuff with fairytales and the power of the narrative is also really awesome. Another great instalment in the Discworld!

Love Pratchett books and this one was great too. Brilliantly funny as always and excellently written. I continue to be flummoxed by Pratchett’s aversion to chapters but delighted by his love of footnotes.
