In just the sixth novel in the overall series, the ambitious author takes on the bard.

In this second book of the Witches series, he adds two more to make up a Shakespearean triumvirate, and brings back other lovable characters like Death and the Librarian. I hope the cat makes an appearance in a future novel also - tough guy there.

And yet... there was a *lot* to put into this work. Half again as many pages as the previous witches book, this is not the longest Discworld book I've read - but it felt like it. Blame jet lag, perhaps. A goodly amount of humor, but at times it felt like pages were spent setting up a one-off reference. The Disc theatre was one example.

So in comparison, I found this really good, but not as good as the previous in the series (Equal Rites) and not as good as the best of the City Watch books. Still looking forward to reading more Discworld!
