What ho! A lady Wizard!? Now the Discworld's gone and done it.

Can you imagine her poor husband if she marries?  Granny Weatherwax seriously threw that in Smith's face and you know what, I cackled.  That was almost all that mattered by the end of that conversation.  Still, Eskarina the first girl-child to be bestowed with elder-mage magic was; understandably, an eight year old handful. 

I didn't get the hit I was looking for with this book.  But, I did like it, like a nice cup of tea and a plain muffin with just a hint of some sugary goodness in the middle of a mid-morning rush. 

A solid 3.5

Plot/Storyline: -1 I get the feeling this one was not meant to be entirely hilarious. It started out well, took a nose dive in the first quarter and then came right back swinging.
Characters: - 0.5 My application to Granny Weatherwax's Ramptop cottage of headology with a side of Herbs is already in the mail. Folks, I'm going to learn witchery. I liked the other characters but I really didn't love them. Death's cameo was a whisper really - I mean not that I want Death to run rampant but you know, I held out my bowl for some more please.
Favorite scene:  Granny Weatherwax vs The Staff - take your pick, each showdown was hilarious. Immovable object meet Unstoppable force. Have at it.
Favorite Quote/Concept: Granny Weatherwax was speaking softly in what Esk thought of as her ‘just so’ voice. The old woman had a flat, measured way of speaking sometimes. It was the kind of voice the Creator had probably used. Whether there was magic in it, or just headology, it ruled out any possibility of argument. It made it clear that whatever it was talking about was exactly how things should be. (On the powers of Granny)
