Sonst bin ich eigentlich von jedem Pratchett begeistert, aber dieses hat mich die ganze Zeit über nicht wirklich abgeholt. Am Anfang fiel es mir sehr schwer, mich für die Handlung zu begeistern. Es war lange nicht klar, wohin die Handlung führen soll. Zwischenzeitlich hat es sich wieder gut gefangen, aber dann wurde es (sogar für Pratchett) zu fantastisch für meinen Geschmack. Oder sollte ich lieber sagen, zu surreal. Zu sehr wurde die Handlung diktiert von nicht greifbaren, überdimensionierten Ereignissen, auf welche keiner der Charaktere Einfluss zu haben scheint. Es passieren Dinge zu schnell, um sie zu verstehen.
Aber trotz allem bleibt der gewohnte Witz bestehen, an vielen Stellen hat mich das Buch zum Lachen gebracht, und auch die Charaktere, allen voran der Hauptcharakter, sind sehr liebevoll geschrieben

Steadily working through Discworld in its entirety and Pyramids still provides such a wonderful tale. With a great big heap of mathematics, metaphysics and who knows what else, it serves up a story that begins to show Pratchett's scope and willingness to tell a different story at every given opportunity.

And now it is time to witness the rise of The Watch!
