stevenvanens 's review for:

Maskerade by Terry Pratchett
4.0

Once again, the witches set out to put things right. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg (and, by extension, Greebo) set off for Ankh-Morpork to see the opera, which is beset by financial problems and murders courtesy of the Ghost of the Opera. An adventure featuring people plagued by problems of interpunction, secret police, undercover watchmen, a stagehand and a cat ensues.

Another one down, many more to go. This one is obviously based on the Phantom of the Opera, but with the necessary Pratchettian twists and jokes. Lucky for me I never read the Phantom, so it was fresh. The witches are always a great pair of characters, forces of nature in their own rights.
