Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett
5.0
It's Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax to the rescue again. At least that's what I thought at first.
The trouble starts when Granny Weatherwax's feelings are hurt (what feelings?!?) when she thinks she hasn't been invited to a naming ceremony. She runs off like a petulant teenager and acts like she's too weak to help when the country is taken over by a family of vampyres.
I enjoyed the story because it gave me more insight into Granny Weatherwax. She isn't as tough as I thought she was. She always seemed like the kind of person to get things done because they needed to be, not because she wanted the praise.
Nanny holds the fort down pretty well for someone who is always in Granny Weatherwax's shadow. When Granny gets herself together the vampyres are, of course, in trouble.
This book gave both Granny and Nanny more depth. Plus, it's a Pratchett so you know it's hilarious.
