Story is based on breaking down magic gender roles. Nothing too graphic, but it is the main plot of the book. There are a couple of very mild sex jokes.demo's review against another edition

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.

As much as I love Terry Pratchett and The Discworld, this is not one of my favourite Discworld novels. I found the pacing slow and the ending a tad anticlimactic. While both Esk and Granny Weatherwax are funny and interesting characters, Granny in particular is noticeably at the start of her development as an important Discworld character, and as an avid Granny Weatherwax fan it felt quite strange.
