After almost a decade, I have reread Equal Rites, and let me tell you: it gets better. A lot of the details I didn't remember surprised me, there's so much wit and intelligence and criticism in Pratchett's book. It's amazing and refreshing. One can never be bored by Discworld.

It's still five stars. In fact, six stars.

My only beef with Pratchett is the fact that he never got to continue telling the story of Esk, and I need so much more of her.
