I admit I originally picked up this book because I'm a bit fascinated with Ancient Egypt, and this book seemed at least a little bit related. I will say that I have never read a Discworld novel before now, and I haven't really read comic fantasy ever before either, so this book was kind of a new experience for me. But I did enjoy it!
The writing has a very unique voice to it, and that took a little bit to get used to. I also feel that the book's storyline sort of moves along slowly for while before picking up pace.
However, after I got used to the unique voice of the writing, I found myself really enjoying the humor, which is quite clever and often smartly composed, and I got sucked in by the story. The message and outcome, as well as the, are also things I liked. I love the science fiction-y vibe this book has, despite it technically being fantasy.
Overall it was an enjoyable read, though slow-going at first. As a side note, I love Pratchett's world building and clever characters. I might pick up another of his novels simply for that! Haha!

The same wit and clever, anachronistic writing, fun and likeable characters and rather mad story as per usual for Discworld. I liked this one a lot, but I do wish for a smaller-scale one; not every story needs to be have a dimension-folding meta metaphysical catastrophe.
