I was expecting the story to focus on Esk’s time at Unseen University as a student, but it’s all about her journey to get there, and I enjoyed it a lot more for that. The horror elements were also a bit unexpected! 

“They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

“If you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to you.”

“They both savoured the strange warm glow of being much more ignorant than ordinary people, who were only ignorant of ordinary things.”

This has been my least favorite of the series so far, though I did still enjoy it. I found the first half to be a bit boring and slow, and had I not been determined to read all of Discworld I may have DNF'd it. However, the second half picked up in a big way, and the charm and fun I've come to expect from Pratchett's work reappeared. I look forward to seeing Granny again in later books.
