Igualtat de ritus

The first flight on the rod scene, to me, is more epic than Luke getting the lightsaber.

Amazing rhyme of the two storylines of the main characters, a counter-position between the cozy and contained village life and dramatic path to the city, as well as events that followed, genius driven by dark conspiracy, ah. So much of this is absolutely badass.

Half a point nudged off for Pratchett's favorite idea of putting enough machinae around to pull dei out of those by their ears.

Third Discworld book overall, and the third that I've read - perhaps I should go back and read the first two sometime. This was also the first outside the City Watch books - and I loved it.

Granny Weatherwax ("I'm not a lady, I'm a witch") is just a great character, more than a match for her wizardly counterparts. Both she and the protagonist are strong female characters. We learn more about Discworld in this book than in the other two, each admittedly later in the series.

Read in preparation for reading Wyrd Sisters next month.
