I am a huge fan of the Witches Series of Discworld and Wyrd Sisters is incredibly delightful with our coven but the main issue that I have with the book is the revolving perspective and Tomjon's story. Pratchett is good at a revolving POV but the cuts feel a bit abrupt in certain parts. I enjoy the witches, the ghost of the previous king, the duke and duchess, the fool, and this wonderful flow of Macbeth and Hamlet but yeah seeing Tomjon's POV throughout the ages and his issues as an adult I really don't care. 

This is 2.75 mostly out of preferences but overall a good book for a great series.

Delightful as always, Terry Pratchett weaves a goodly absurd tale of witches and kings and ghosts and throws in a truly amazing number of Shakespeare references to boot. I have always thought the stories of Hamlet and Macbeth should be wed, and Pratchett did not disappoint.

The first paragraph alone let's you know you're in for a comedic story that twists and turns all the classic fairy tale witch stereotypes.
