Pratchett once again demonstrates how Granny Weatherwax is his ideal and best character for exploring the flaws of humanity and the nature of the world.

This book was amazing. On this repeat read it was interesting to look for hints at who the 2 versions of the Ghost were - and they were definitely there. 

Agnes is set up as a good future character in the Witches books with her alter ego of Perdita hinted at. 

Greebo’s transformation remains an amusing plot point and Nanny Ogg does well as the comic relief to Granny Weatherwax’s somewhat darker side.
