Trying to get into the Discworld and I loved this book! It was equal parts charming (funny and clever) and challenging (how the world works versus how it could/should work). The characters are vibrant and distinct, the world building fantastic, the magic system hilarious... I'm looking forward to making my way through the series.

It's a very nice story and I enjoyed all of the characters and also learning more about the Unseen University and witches, wizards and warlocks . I was a bit sad that DEATH (I'm really looking forward to Mort) only made one appearance and that we didn't learn more about the disk world itself.
I hope that Granny and Esk make a reappearance in the Disk world novels.
