Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is #3 in the infamous Discworld series, and it expands on the magic properties of this place. One thing Pratchett introduces in this series is the idea that the number 8 is very important. In this novel, a great wizard who is about to die journeys to find the eighth son of an eighth son to pass on his magic, and does so, with one small problem: the eighth son of an eighth son is actually a daughter! But by the time this is noticed, it is too late that wizard’s staff is hers. Granny Weatherwax, another one of the recurring characters, is introduced here.

As before, I listened to the audio book.
