4 out of 5 stars
Halloween Bingo 2024
This Discworld novel had a number of my favourite characters: the Witches, DEATH, and the Nac mac Feegle. Throw in some vampires and what could be better? The witches must kick some bat!
Mr. Pratchett examines the powers of choices. Mightily Oates, confused follower of the god Om, must decide if he’s going to see every side of every issue, or is he going to choose a position. You have to choose if you want to make a difference. Granny Weatherwax must keep choosing her balance between the dark and the light. Nanny Ogg steps up when Granny seems to have disappeared.
The vampires have decided to use the power of positive thinking and gradual desensitization to overcome their weaknesses: garlic, lemon, holy water and sunshine. The trick is to keep believing in your invulnerability. But they don’t know headology like Granny does—can she out-manoeuvre and outThink them?
Any book with the Nac mac Feegle is my kind of book! Pratchett obviously enjoyed writing them.
I read this book to fulfill the Gallows Humour square of my Halloween Bingo card.
