Didn't enjoy this one. I didn't care about the characters and the plot was an incoherent mess with several plotlines that went nowhere and disappeared without a trace. It wasn't funny either, most attempts were just bad puns.

When you read a lot of Pratchett, it gets very repetitive. The same jokes, plots and types of characters appear again and again. Like all jokes, it gets less and less funny each time you hear it.

Another fun one from Pratchett. It was relatively light, it was quick, there were assassins and kings and handmaidens, and naturally everything exploded splendidly right at the end. Teppic is cool.
