Advantages: Discworld

Disadvantages: One of the weaker Witch books

This is the phantom of the Opera done Discworld style. This book stars the Witches but the lineup has changed for this one. Those who are familiar with the series will know that last time we met the witches Magrat got married to King Verence. So for this adventure it’s just Granny and Nanny. Granny Weatherwax is an old witch with a will of iron and a stare to match. Everyone is scared of her even though she is a good witch but good is different from nice. Nanny Ogg is another old witch but she is the matriarch of a vast clan. She has them all under her thumb and tells a ver good line in dirty jokes and anecdotes. Just don’t let her sing the hedgehog song. From what I can tell (having not seen the show) this follows the Phantom of the Opera story pretty closely but with changes which alter it completely. It involves masks, hidden identities and ballerinas walking on their toes. This book is good and is a kind of mystery book but is more a general story.
