This was my first proper Pratchett book, besides Good Omens. It was the one that you guys voted for the #20readsin2020 (a book chosen by a friend) and my February #unreadshelfproject2020 prompt. I also snuck it onto #20booksin2020 (author from my country) because why not.
Anyway, thoughts on the book. It was alright. I wasn’t blown away. The story was predictable, the characters were pretty basic and the humour is very much the style I would have chosen 10 years ago. That doesn’t mean I didn’t find it funny now, because I did. It’s just I think I’d have enjoyed it more then. 22 year old Kirsty missed a trick by not starting Discworld sooner. Will I read more of them? Sure. Am I going to rush out and buy them all? No I have 251 unread books and 15 unlistened to audiobooks to get through.
