Rating: 2.5/5

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. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex...

Better than "The Light Fantastic", not as good as "Wyrd Sisters". I've never really taken to Terry Pratchett - he tries too hard to be funny, rather than letting it come naturally. This was no exception, so why I really liked both Granny Weatherwax (who wouldn't?!? ;) ) and Esk, I wasn't terribly enamoured by the book itself.

So 2/5 for the book itself - Granny Weatherwax adds the extra 0.5.
