“Wyrd Sisters”
Genre: Modern Fantasy/Satire
Age: Teen, Adult
Content: Minor violence
Overall: 3/5
Review: This was my first foray into the discworld series and I chose Wyrd Sisters to read. The novel was a clever satire, although it had some significantly slow moments in the plot development. I managed to read 5 or 6 pages a night, but it never really grabbed me. The characters were quirky, but a little flat, all of them took a stereotype and twisted it slightly. Of course in a satire usually characterization is flat in order to avoid distracting the reader from the true message, the satire of modern society and mores. I did finish the book, although I considered putting it down a few times, and I’m glad I did. The end does make the slower progression worthwhile, and I won’t spoil it, but it’s worth continuing.
