But sometimes a re-read will lead to disappointment especially as I too will have changed and then I may spot somethings I don’t think get handled too well. I get to spot the things I’ve missed and often they’re little clues. But unfortunately the forces of good are up against a Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse. It looks as though a happy ending may be averted before catastrophe strikes. Especially when a good story involves three witches, including a fairy godmother, travelling to a faraway land to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince. That's the problem when you let real life get in the way of a good story. But if you do, then you've got to know where the story ends.' You shouldn't treat people like they was characters, like they was things. That's how it works when you turn the world into stories. Witches Abroad was written in 1991 which I covered last time in Reaper Man
