so much that it became tedious 2/3 of the way through. Terry Pratchett is far too clever for himself, and there is too much nonsense in his writing. The witches move the kingdom into the future in order for the rightful heir to return & claim his kingdom. The Fool falls in love w/ one of the 3 witches and then is sent to find the heir. The land, flora, & fauna of the kingdom is so unhappy they all end up in front of the Main witch's house wanting her to "fix" the problem. The new king has visions of blood on his hands that can not be washed away. The royal heir has disappeared as has the crown. Cousin hates the kingdom & the life of the kingdom hates him. Why how clever an overly wordy, clever, twisted, and self-amusing novel based on Hamlet.Ī King is dead by the hand of his cousin & cousin's wife.
