The third book of Discworld introduces the reader the female view of the magic in "Equal Rites" through the unexpected transference of wizard magic to a baby girl named Esk. Once the story really gets going, Granny Weatherwax takes Esk under her wing to help teach her witchcraft and hoped it would h...
One of the earlier novels (book 3), and the writing and characters were still fresh and interesting.Also, there was only one footnote in this one.A wizard passes his staff on to the 8th son of an 8th son...who then turns out to be a girl.

A mediocre novel, at least for this writer. He’s still stretching his wings, and it shows: this earlier tale contains too much verbal clutter but almost no humor, which is abundant in his later novels. I like the idea of this one – a female should be allowed to be a wizard. Oh, yeah, I’m all for equ...
Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett is about a young girl that accidentally gets bestowed with wizard magic in a world where men are wizards and women are witches. She tries to train as a witch but finds it to be inadequate to learn to control her powers and must seek out Unseen University to try to get ...

December 10, 2009 The first female wizard is exceptional, of course. It was never meant to be. Hahahahahahaha. November 9, 2011 Veronica's been feeling a little under the weather this week, and when that is the case, she likes me to read aloud. And she couldn't locate the book we had been read...
Not sure how to rate this, so we'll say 3.5 for now, subject to possible rounding up later. I liked it, but if everything I like gets 4 stars then 4 doesn't mean much.This book basically accomplishes what it sets out to do: it's funny and there's also thought put into the issues it examines.

I really liked this book. I wish I didn't need to write a review on it since my thoughts on it are disjointed and chaotic but I'm doing it for a challenge that needs a review. So remember that no matter what rambling direction this review takes, I really liked this book.My history with Pratchett i...
I loved this book. It took a bit to get into but it's completely enjoyable. Very funny and insightful. Even though I've read the Tiffany Aching young adult series before this book, it didn't ruin the enjoyment at all. I wish I could explain this better. Terry Pratchett is one my list of all time fav...
