![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In later books she loses most of that (which is for the best) and while she may not be worldly, she is still self-posessed and wise.Īnother interesting echo is the relationship between Granny and Esk. What's more, while you can see elements of the character Granny eventually becomes, there's a surprising streak of country bumpkin in here here. Granny doesn't have her friend Nanny Ogg as conversational foil and counterpoint in this book, and it's surprising how much that limits her character. Discworld is not nearly as developed, and neither is his writing style. There's nothing wrong with it, mind you, but it was still very early on in Pratchett's career, and it doesn't have the smoothness of his later work. Granny Weatherwax is one of my favorite characters of Pratchett's, and as an author, it does me good to see how she began as a character. What's more, I've just recent re-read several of the more recent Witch novels from Pratchett, so they're fresh in my head. I just recently re-visited this book after a couple years away from it. ![]()
