Maskerade - Likewise Book Reviews
"Maskerade by Terry Pratchett
3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
This one felt like a building book. The pair Ogg and Weatherwax looking for a third witch. Ogg being her pleasant self unless she's stuck under Weatherwax's thumb and Weatherwax acting and being the superior witch the whole time with Greebo in tow.
The Phantom of the Opera bit was okay and I look forward to Nitt's progress in the next book. I was sad for her though, such blatant disregard for a person is so rude. "
"Good fun, but also seriously creepy. Phantom of the Opera with a dippy, self absorbed Christine who faints histrionically on cue but can't sing a note, dubbed by "Perdita" (nee Agnes), a sensible country girl with a powerful voice, always referred to as "the one with the great personality. And lovely hair. ". Some great lines:<br/><br/>(looking at the chandelier) - "Now THAT's an accident waiting to happen"<br/><br/>Crowd hating down the Phantom: <br/>" Have we got the flaming torches?"<br/>"Torches are not required!"<br/>"What about pitchforks, eh?"<br/>"That's for a vampire you idiot!""
"This is really good Discworld. The Witches always are. I immediately ordered the following book. Trying to think of stand out parts here, but it's been a while. Greebo as a man, again, is a big highlight. Oh god, a book Nanny Ogg wrote that gets some attention. It's just so witty. Thank you, Mr Pratchett! <3 <3"
