Some of the best quotes in the series. Great Deat and Granny Weatherwax scene. Lots of Greebo. Missed magrat but Agnes is interesting enough.
Between Agnes and the opera star there's a lot of...body dysmorphia that could be triggered in how their weight is discussed and eating depicted (for him). Just something to be aware fo going I.

Full review to follow but in brief this book pulled me out of a reading funk and made me laugh repeatedly and often. We all need a Gytha "Nanny" Ogg in our lives, and probably an Esme Weatherwax too. I absolutely adore this pair and their crazy adventures.
"Oh you know me, Esme," Said Nanny cheerfully. "I couldn't subtract a fart from a plate of beans."
Behind the walls she could be the Perdita she'd always wanted to be. Perdita didn't care about anything. Perdita got things done. Perdita could wear anything she wanted, Perdita X Nitt, mistress of the darkness, magdalen of cool, could listen in to other people's lives. And never, ever have to have a wonderful personality.
The old woman's ha came p holding a bottle of champagne and then came down hard in an effort to launch the SS Gytha Ogg on to the seas of unconsciousness.
Embarrassment normally came as naturally to Nanny as altruism comes to a cat.
He was up against a mind that regarded truth as a reference point but certainly not as a shackle. Nanny Ogg could think her way through a corkscrew in a tornado without touching the sides.
