‘Comedy fantasy at its very best’ 5-star reader review

Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. Its the other way around.

Three witches gathered on a lonely heath.

A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing. Witches dont have these kinds of leadership problems themselves - in fact, they dont have leaders.

Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they dont have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe.

Particularly when the blood on your hands just wont wash off . . .

Wyrd Sisters is the second book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
