Three witches in Discworld
3 stars
Three witches in Discworld; the Shakespeare sendups throughout are much more enjoyable now that I've read Shakespeare in the intervening 30 years.
Wyrd Sisters is Terry Pratchett's sixth Discworld novel, published in 1988. It re-introduces Granny Weatherwax of Equal Rites.

Three witches in Discworld; the Shakespeare sendups throughout are much more enjoyable now that I've read Shakespeare in the intervening 30 years.
Muy divertido, sobre todo el ultimo tercio en el que ya está todo enmarañado y brillan todos los personajes.
Increíble la sinergia de las tres personalidades de las brujas, pensaba, no se por qué, que me iba a gustar menos que la saga de los magos pero ni por asomo está siendo así. Y el humor mas fino e hilado que en Ritos Iguales me ha sacado muchas risas. ¡A por el siguiente!
A great continuation of the storyline of witches, but this one is about craft, betrayal and Agatha Christy-esque finale. Colourful and interesting read, but – as we know – Pratchett could and did do books where it's all that plus a lot of depth.
I did love the quote where he compares Ankh-Morpork with a drain where everyone ends up and can't escape. As a relatively newfound Londoner, it strikes a chord.
