4.5* rounded up to 5 because it's Discworld and that's the best world. I love these books for their strange yet familiar worldscape with plots, people and places that are often a version of Earth's own.

This was a witches novel, which are amongst my favourites of the series - featuring, as they do, my hero Granny Weatherwax. I'm loathe to go into the ins and out if the reasons I didn't give it 5* so I'll just say - spoilers!

Terry Pratchett was a literary genius and will be greatly missed, I'm sure he'd have done a bit more tinkering on this if he had the chance.
