A pleasant introduction to the Witches of Discworld.

If you’ve read any fantasy I doubt you’ll find anything new in the story. It’s fairly typical but where this book really shines is in its humour and the characters. Pratchett delivers a spoonful of humour with every page which helps an otherwise mediocre book go down well.

The relationship between the two main characters, Esk and Granny Weatherwax, is enjoyable and reads like a hot cup of cocoa on a winters day. It grows further as you get into the book and you can start to see the beginning of something great. Unfortunately this book doesn’t quite hit the heights it could have.
