    An old wizard is about to die and goes to Bad Ass to leave the magic staff to the 8th son of an 8th son...who turns out to be a daughter instead. No woman wizard can be. On the other hand, no witch with magic wizard staff can be. Trained by Granny Weatherwax, Eskarina is going to be a very special person. Very ironic and hilarious book.
