Book Description

Witches are not by nature gregarious, and they certainly don't have leaders. Granny Weatherwax was the most highly regarded of the leaders they didn't have. But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe ...

Macbeth with a twist or two

This is a dark story with light humour, telling the story of Macbeth in a way that only Pratchett could hope to succeed with.

First sustained novel about the Discworld Witches. A treat for Shakespeare fans, too.

Granny Weatherwax was not lost. She wasn't the kind of person who ever became lost. It was just that, at the moment, while she knew exactly where she was, she didn't know the position of anywhere else.

Wyrd Sisters was really good, it was the first book in the big-chronological-re-read that actually felt like a proper Discworld book. The references were still pretty heavy (Shakespear, this time) but all the part about the guild of Fools, and the Realm being unsatisfied, and the Duchess of course, was pure Pratchett and I loved it!

For some reason, this take on Macbeth by Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite disworld novels (of the one's I've read that is). This is utterly enchanting.
