mantissabolt 's review for:

Maskerade by Terry Pratchett
4.5
adventurous challenging emotional lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Following the events of the "Lords & Ladies"
Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg need a 3rd witch because there needs to be 3.  But the best candidate ran off to  Ankh-Morpork  to join the Opera.  Granny & Nanny follow her to  Ankh-Morpork. 
We get Terry's version of Phantom of the Opera meets Singing in the Rain with a very long shaggy  dog story about a Yogi Berra saying. I am not sure Opera can survive being skewered b Terry Prachett.  It is a lot of fun.
