I liked the previous Witches books very much, and I quite liked this one too. Unfortunately, I do think by taking our cast out of Lancre (and having no appearances of Magrat!) it missed a little bit of the same charm, although that may also be down to the fact that I don't know the plot of the original Phantom of the Opera so I'm missing out in being able to fully enjoy the parody. That being said, it's still an excellent read. I liked the contrast in Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherewax's witchy powers, and Granny always pulls something off that you can't quite believe at the end until it all makes sense. The murder mystery had me engrossed and I guessed about 50% right what was going on, the perfect amount. Just enough to feel satisfied, but with some good twists and turns at the end. Agnes Nitt is a good character too, I just wish there'd been less of a focus on her being fat and how it's tragic all the time. I get that it's parody, and she's still an interesting character in a number of other ways, but it still feels like that was treated as her defining trait which was very much a shame. Her witchy powers of insight prevent her from getting fully immersed in the weird magic of Opera, and I'd have liked a bit more of a focus on that. All in all, it's a lot of fun and I especially liked the reappearances of Mr Bucket as well as Greebo's human-shaped issue (he turns into a human sometimes when stressed). Plus, the end of the book leaves me excited for this next one where they have a full coven again (please still have Magrat in it though!! I liked her a lot). I think I was just left wishing for something more (no criticisms of capitalism in this one lads :/)
