Wyrd Sisters

Wrote a review for

Wyrd Sisters is the second book in Discworld's Witches sub-series. Granny Weatherwax responds to a crisis following the accession of a new king. She is joined by Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick, the three witches together forming the Lancre coven.

Some parts are convoluted because plot points are explained through the witches' banter, which is often ambiguous although very entertaining. This is a story that will benefit from a reread, allowing the plot to be offloaded to memory.

This is first Discworld story where I laughed out loud. Probably because there's more witty dialogue here, whereas previous entries relied mainly on satire and absurdity.
