nerd teacher [books] reviewed Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett
Quite sweet.
4 stars
I always adore stories of this nature, particularly because I love to see the kinds of journeys that take place among the characters and how that develops them.
While I know Esk was meant to be the primary main character, Granny Weatherwax really takes on a whole chunk of the story. She's someone with whom I very much find myself identifying, and it's because of the constant "Well, it's got to happen one way or the other, so we may as well do it" personality she exudes. She's very stubborn but incredibly caring for the people around her, even if it seems otherwise.
Also, she has a thing for old fabric.
