I really enjoyed reading about Esk’s journey to become the first female wizard in the Discworld, joining her as she travels to Unseen University in Ankh-Morpork with Granny Weatherwax, a well-known witch, as her “guide”. Pratchett had a real knack for writing thrilling adventure stories. It’s a fantastic book and it was a great pick-me-up in the cold winter months.Įqual Rites is the third book in the Discworld series but it is the first in the Witches mini-series which makes it a perfect novel to start with if you’ve never encountered the Discworld before. If you’re ever looking for a funny, light-hearted book with wonderful characters and a wild plot then look no further than Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels! I loved every single moment of Equal Rites. But now it’s gone and happened, there’s nothing much anyone can do about it. Everybody knows that there’s no such thing as a female wizard.
Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check that the baby in question was a son. The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Summary: They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it’s not half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
