This book not only delivers silly fun and fast-paced action (including not one but TWO witches duels), but also contemplations on some very deep matters Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
[Pratchett] balances humour and poignancy so masterfully that I can t help but marvel at it Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
Nanny and Granny are at their height in this book as far as their back-and-forth dialogue. The two play so well off of each other Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
I ll never view the fairy tales of my youth the same way again after reading this one. Definitely worth 5 stars Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
The twisted take on fairytales and how we re shaped by stories was brilliantly executed, and at times even pretty disturbing . . . The underlying social commentary is very Pratchett Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
