Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels, consistent number one bestsellers in England, have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody along with Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen. In Equal Rites, a dying wizard tries to pass on his powers to an eighth son of an eighth son, who is just at that moment being born. The fact that the son is actually a daughter is discovered just a little too late...

I liked the distinction between witches and wizards. Although it really only started kicking off near the very end so the middle of the book was slightly boring. I do really enjoy Pratchett's writing very much.
Definitely reminds me that it's an early Pratchett. Doesn't quite shine as much as later Discworld
