This is my favorite discworld novel (the other being Hogfather). Partly because Granny and Nanny and Margrat are my favorite discworld characters (apart from DEATH). Partly because the book is real fun, thoughtful, has a good and intersting plot and some amazing turnings. Honestyl, you, too, thought elves were nice, didn't you?
If you are a beginner in Pratchett`s discworld this book is a possible first (apart from the best idea of reading all the 28 novels in their chronologic order).
Only 4 stars? I think the end is a bit forced, the antler king too much of a deus ex machina for my taste. Did we really have need of him with Granny in charge?
