And actually, that would normally be fine but for the fact Felmet is denying his crime and is getting a little more ruthless than Kings are expected to be burning villages with people actually inside them. Here the stakes are lower than the nature of reality – King Verence was murdered by his ambitious relative Felmet. This time as in Mort we get a much more cohesive story. In the readalong to date plot has been a huge issue for me as it rarely feels too solid or well-constructed in the earlier novels. It also is one where ideas ae being returned to and polished so much that they shine. A theme that Pratchett would return to many more times in the series. That’s a challenge and yet for me the novel works both as an affectionate tribute to the playwright and an interesting look at the power of words and stories. Six books in and now Pratchett decides to take on Shakespeare. Granny Weatherwax was the most highly regarded of the leaders they didn’t have.īut even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe… Witches are not by nature gregarious, and they certainly don’t have leaders.

It was the year CGI really upped its game in Jurassic Park Meatloaf was very busy explaining that he wouldn’t do that, and Grunge was at its peak but also tragically the year that Kurt Cobain died. But I did find a group of friends that will mean the world for me (and many of whom still do). The career path I thought would be right I’d realise in ten years really wouldn’t work for me.

A really interesting time for me – not sure what I want to be, but I was starting to find out what I liked to do and feel comfortable in my own skin. Originally published in 1988 which we covered in Sourcery regards the history but my first copy (spine very much read) is 1993 when I am finishing my GCSEs and starting sixth form. With Wyrd Sisters we reach the full appearance of one of my favourite character groups and I think a moment when Pratchett really takes a lot of lessons from the previous books and this one soars confidently.

I liked Equal Rites when I read it but it did feel a little loose with an interesting character but put in a rambling and rushed plot. They say that sometimes acorns lead to great oaks.
