Book like Terry Pratchett's witches

My wife loves the audiobooks of Terry Pratchett that feature Granny Weatherwax. What could I get as a nice surprise for Christmas?

Thanks in advance!

Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

This is a pretty good fairy tale retelling with two prominent side characters - a grave-witch & and a sligtly reluctant fairy goodmother who reminded me of Pratchett's no-nonsense witches very much. The main heroine is Marra, who is over 30, not particularly beautiful or charming, and she needs to save her sister from her very wicked husband. It is a standalone fantasy novel, with a bit of romance, adventure, and humour.

“Tell me if you get the urge to take a bite out of someone, though.'
'There's a long list of people I'd like to bite,' said Marra, a bit dryly.
The dust-wife snorted. 'Fair enough. Just tell me if you get the urge to chew afterward, then.”

Your welcome!

I hope your wife will like it. Pratchett has a very unique style, and no one really compares to him. This was one of my favourite books this year.

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
