I'm so glad I decided to re-read this book (and series).

That new characters are great as always and I realised that I had actually forgotten how great some of the other characters were. Geoffrey Scrutinous and Philomena Random were just so amusing in the small time we had with them and have become some of my new favourite characters.

Also I think Derek is the only author to make me cry over a villains death, I don't know how he does it, but that man has a gift!
