Ok, so maybe I'm reading into this... but.

I think the witch books really prove granny's (and I guess a few other magic users) rule about not using magic to medle in politics and how any time you use magic to alter something you keep having to use stronger and stronger magic to keep it that way.

Stick with me here pls. Spoilers for all the witches books ahead!

In wyrd sisters, they win and get Verence crowned because granny breaks her own rule and uses magic to interfere. She uses it on the entire kingdom. And it was the right choice to interfere, and the entire kingdom literally begged her to do it (and all the townspeople begged nanny)

buuut...

In lords and ladies, Verence is the one who planned the wedding for midsummer and sent to Hwel and tomjon for the play the elves used to help break through the dancers. Granny told him not to give magrat a chance to worry her way out of marrying him and kept magrat in the dark and pushed her away.

After that, well, the gentry. happen. The entire kingdom is affected, a witch was the one who powered the circle in the first place, and only stronger magic than granny used in wyrd sisters can fix it

Then.

Verence invited the vampyres. They want to take over the entire kingdom and turn them into blood.. cattle? Only more witches, a magic ax, and an even stronger and smarter granny can beat them.

And sure. A lot of this was necessary to create an interesting narrative five books in with all those characters but it still seems like every threat to Verences crown is because of a magical being and the witches have to step in and stop it every time.

The disc and its magic is so unpredictable and seems to work through things and use them so I could see it using magical creatures to try rebalancing what granny changed. (and the beings trying to take over are at least as terrible as the duke and duchess)

And it's s so interesting that even though granny thinks she's always right but also always exempt from her own rules she was right about the rules and wrong about being exempt.

Maybe this is nothing but it feels like something to me...... 🧙‍♀️🧙

Okay, I finished Unseen Academicals. Somehow every new Discworld book I start, I think "Oh this one can't be as good as the last one... nothing could hit the spot quite like that" and much to my benefit, I'm wrong every time.

Really, I probably wouldn't have read Unseen Academicals as a priority unless I felt compelled to finish what I started with the University set. But when I got to the end I hoped against hope somehow more pages would appear, or that a follow-up to Nutt and Gladys' story would burst forth from the firmament.

This is more of a book report than anything. I'm not making a point except that godDAMN is Nutt an interesting little dude, and Gladys, and especially Pepe and Madame Sharn. I often wish I could dive into the world of a book to see what the characters do after the pages go blank, and I am wishing it again.

They put Hogswatch decorations on Hex. That's such good Scientist behavior, I love the High Energy Magic department.

Hogfather: This little girl is named Twyla. Her whole thing is that she's scared of the boogeymen who keep getting into her room.
