I definitely prefer it when Discworld stories are set in Ankh Morpork, Pyramids is set in Egypt and although I grinned at the razor blade reference (see my book [b:Danger! Cosmetics to Go|18710188|Danger! Cosmetics to Go|Mira Manga|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1422143044s/18710188.jpg|26568250] and the Khufu range) I felt a bit disconnected from Teppic and his crew. The timey wimey / quantum stuff is always a bit head boggling too! The highlight for me was the Assassin's Guild exam.

Another 3.5-er, with apologies to the friend who loved loved LOVED this one. I just thought it was a little uneven. Some of it was hilarious - the Greatest Mathematician in the World, the perspective of the recently-deceased king, the Epheban philosophers - but some of it was just kind of okay.
I'm probably looking at it wrong (I'm bad at standing on my head), but I just didn't really get the whole time-bending pyramid stuff. With Terry Pratchett I don't usually let that sort of thing bother me, but he can do better and funnier.
Oh, I also loved the bickering priests. And the two morticians, or whatever they were. And Death's cameos were excellent, as always.

This one was new to me, not a reread. An entertaining light read, but it has a little too much camels doing math.

No es de los mejores que he leído de la serie. Aún así me e reído, especialmente Maldito Bastardo, mejor matemático de Mundodisco que resulta ser un camello :)
