This was such a fun romp and I very much enjoyed encountering Granny Weatherwax again, as well as meeting Nanny Ogg and Magrat, the other two witches in the reluctant coven! This is the second book in the witches sub series of the Discworld novels and of the first two I prefer the plot of Equal Rites, but this was still enjoyable. Terry Pratchett’s clever humour was ever present and I also quite liked the references to Hamlet. All in all, a fun time!

A rollicking, fun mashup of various Shakespearean odds and ends filtered through a Discworld lens. One of my favorites so far… I can see why the witches are so beloved.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but for Hamlet. Definitely the funniest book I've ever read. 11/10
