Witches Books in Order
Rate this series:
The Witches series by Terry Pratchett is a collection of seven novels published between 1987 and 1998, set in the Discworld. It follows a group of female witches, primarily Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and later Magrat Garlick, as they navigate the challenges of their craft and the world around them. The stories involve the witches confronting supernatural elements, societal norms, and personal growth while maintaining their roles in a male-dominated magical community. The series explores themes such as tradition, empowerment, and female friendship, and is part of Pratchett's broader Discworld universe. The first book, Equal Rites (1987), introduces the witches and their roles in the community. The series does not include elements from Good Omens, which is a separate collaboration between Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
This is a sub-series of the larger Discworld series — see that page for every book in the wider setting.
