amanda_lodden* I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett (20)
Note to self: Books with a lot of footnotes are kind of annoying on the Kindle.
Either you like Discworld or you don't. I've met a lot of people who like Discworld, and pretty much all of them have strong opinions on whether the books about the witches are any good. I happen to like the witches, and this is a particularly good book about the witches. If you're not inclined to like the witches, then... you probably won't like this one.
PTerry seems to be trying to wrap up loose ends, and I suspect that's a nod towards his degenerative disease. There are a couple of new developments that would lend themselves to story elements, but mostly he seems to try to be dragging in people from old books. Notably, Eskarina is back. "Eskarina who?" you ask? She's the chick from Equal Rites, which is the very first witches book and also the very worst witches book.
