I had to restart this book multiple times. Definitely not my favorite part of Discworld. There were some good jokes and puns, but I also was unsure about racial coding, and there were too many men. I just didn’t care.

Onto the next one!

It wasn't as good as I found it back when I was a kid.

Discworld takes on ancient egypt, the philosophical implications of mummification and pyramids, and what horror it would be for all your gods to become real. A good read, funny, and ofc, takes on a surprising amount of meaning at the end. Loved the pyramid designers and embalmers. Honestly however I think I enjoyed the first 100 pages or so the most, as that setting was Judah more fun.
