Initially, they decide to entrust little Tomjon to a travelling theater company, claiming that things will follow their course and that the child will fulfill his destiny to become king one day. Unfortunately for him, the crown and the king’s son are entrusted to three witches: Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. In the small kingdom of Lancre, King Verence I is assassinated by his cousin Felmet. In two words, the plot can be summarized as follows (and I will avoid big spoilers for those who haven’t read the book). There are so many things I love of Wyrd Sisters! The plot is extremely well developed and it can be enjoyed on multiple levels, plus the main characters are all splendid, and it’s no coincidence that they would reappear in many other Discworld adventures. I consider this book one of the most memorable of the entire Discworld saga, and possibly one of the main reasons that led me to adore the witches’ books perhaps above all the others. It can be considered as the first of the witches saga, even if its main character Granny Weatherwax had already appeared in the third book Equal Rites. Wyrd Sisters is the sixth book of the Discworld saga and it was published in 1988. “ Just when things are going well, there’s always bloody destiny.” ![]()
