It seemed an easy job... After all, how difficult could it be to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince? But for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick, travelling to the distant city of Genua, things are never that simple... Servant girls have to marry the prince. That's what life is all about. You can't fight a Happy Ending. At least - up until now...

Glad it's over. Written after Wyrd Sisters but it feels earlier: disjointed, gag-driven, even mean-spirited. Nanny and Granny come off as hollow caricatures. I don't need to read this one again.

I think this has been my favourite Discworld book so far! I love the three main characters, especially Nanny Ogg. Loved the twists on stories and fairy tales! Magical
