I'm glad I'm rereading these. I only gave it three stars the first time, and... well this was really fun. We finally have Granny and more of the wizards. Esk was really fun and I liked watching her relationships with Granny and Simon develop. I loved seeing the witch magic vs wizard magic and headology. I'm not super into the Dungeon Dimension stuff, but it was all really well done.
A story about the first female Wizard in the Disc World, where women are usually enchantress or witches
My overall impression of Pratchett is this
- tries to squeeze some sort of joke or pun into every sentence
- gives an absurd meaning to an otherwise well established but somewhat unusual concept
- I don't like most of those, and so all is left is the characters, the plot and his fantasy world
- I don't like those either
