Když se na Zeměploše narodí osmému synovi osmé dítě a je to také syn, dostává podle tradice do vínku kouzelnickou hůl a stane se z něho mág. Dcer se tento nepsaný zákon netýká, protože s ženami zeměplošská magie vůbec nepočítá. Stařičký kouzelník Podomní Kšaft si až příliš pozdě uvědomil, co způsobil, když svou hůl předal právě narozenému osmému potomku osmého syna, aniž se přesvědčil, zda je to kluk.

Překlad: Jan Kantůrek Obálka: Josh Kirby

An artifact more badass than a lightsaber

5 stars

The first flight on the rod scene, to me, is more epic than Luke getting the lightsaber.

Amazing rhyme of the two storylines of the main characters, a counter-position between the cozy and contained village life and dramatic path to the city, as well as events that followed, genius driven by dark conspiracy, ah. So much of this is absolutely badass.

Half a point nudged off for Pratchett's favorite idea of putting enough machinae around to pull dei out of those by their ears.

A wonderful, feminist Discworld story

5 stars

A wonderful story interwoven with some very appropriate, not-so-gentle points about gender preconceptions.

A dying wizard unintentionally passes on his wizardness to 8th daughter of an 8th son (he thought it was an 8th son). As she grows lots of preconceptions about gender roles are examined, challenged and discarded.

Lore (and even law) can and should change as we all grow and learn together.

A great line: I can see you've been getting ideas below your station. - Granny Weatherwax to Eskarina when she forgot herself and blindly accepted there were ~any~ places she didn't belong because she wasn't a man.
