IT'S SO DELIGHTFUL! And happily, I have actually read Witches Abroad and Lords and Ladies in the past few years, so I feel like I'm in on the Sooper Sekret Club about the backstory of Agnes and the other stuff going on in Lancre. I'm not much of one for Discworld continuity - the books work find without it - but it was a nice surprise to see how things fit together.
I also had a Phantom Phase in my teens that got recently revived due to a friend doing an amateur version of the musical with friends in a living room - it was AWESOME! A production that really committed to Christine being super freaked out by her awful stalker, instead of that weird, male gaze-y "I Am Fearful But Aroused?" THING that the movie did, it was so refreshing and interesting to see. So, reading this book is kind of like revisiting that production and Pratchett at the same time, and I love both deeply.
