Esk is unsuccessful in her first, direct, attempt to gain entry to the University, but Granny Weatherwax finds another way in; as a servant. Oradan istediğiniz seriye (evet "Diskdünya'da başlamak için çoklu seçenekler mevcut) başlayabilirsiniz.

Nevertheless Pratchett's humour is here in full force along with his wonderful descriptions and clever stories. It doesn't unlock potential the way so many others do, as evidenced by the main character not showing up again for for 35 books (and then said book gets classified as part of the For Kids rather than as part of the Witches series). Kirby's artwork "coincidentally" draws Esk with the broom handle where a penis would be which is a traditional interpretation of the basis of the "witches flying around on broomsticks" myth. Equal Rites is a great jumping on point for anyone unfamiliar with the Discworld series and comes with my highest recommendation.

It simply that the satire is definitely more directed at real world issues than fantasy tropes like the first two books.

I have been eagerly awaiting the re-release of all the Discworld audiobooks, but I was so so disappointed with this.

Esk, 8th "son" of an 8th son (on the Discworld, 8 is the most magical number), who inherits the staff of a pretty powerful wizard because - instead of listening to Granny - he is eager to pass on his wizard's staff before he dies and assumes that Esk is going to be a boy. Yet to hear a Disc World book that isn't just immense and these new readings are vastly superior to the already entertaining originals. I initially bought this book to read while I was on holiday and could not put it down the entire time I was away.

Up in the Ramptops, the Eighth Son of an Eighth Son is about to be born, and a Wizard is ready to hand over his staff. I know that the books get even funnier, wittier and just more and more involved with the wonderful world that Sir Terry created, but this was just a 5 star read, laugh out loud funny and world building from the RamTops to the Rimfall.
