About the book

Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the second book in the Witches series, part of the Discworld novels.

'Pratchett's Discworld books have made millions of people happy' Guardian

'Comedy fantasy at its very best' 5-star reader review

'Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.'

Three witches gathered on a lonely heath.

A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing. Witches don't have these kinds of leadership problems themselves - in fact, they don't have leaders.

Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don't have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe.

Particularly when the blood on your hands just won't wash off . . .

Wyrd Sisters is the second book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

    Hexen, Theater und tote Könige, beschreibt sehr treffend was hier passiert!

    Ich mochte Oma Wetterwachs im Erbe des Zauberers schon sehr und jetzt darf sie mit zwei Hexen Kolleginnen die Welt retten. Oder sie machen erst alles schlimmer und versuchen es dann wieder gerade zu biegen, je nach Sichtweise. Es macht auf jeden Fall Spaß zu lesen, die Story mag ich sehr gerne. Das einzige was etwas verwirrend ist ist der Wechsel zwischen Theater-Skript und „normalen“ Buch. Aber es macht das Buch unglaublich sympathisch!

    Guter Pratchet

    Lustig wie immer. Geister sind jetzt auch dabei, 15 Jahre vergehen wie im Flug und ein Narr muss kein Narr bleiben. Hexen , diesmal 3 und viel Theater. Bisschen Ank Morpork und eine Zwergentaverne. Das Schloss ist Morsch :)

    Definitiv nicht mein liebstes Werk von Pratchett, aber auch hier ein wahnsinnig witziger Roman. In Hörbuchform, gelesen von Katharina Thalbach, auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert!
