A fun romp! A Discworld book about the rock/music industry and parodying that whole thing.
While this is a part of the Death focused books, he's much more of a side character this time around, and part of my critique of this book is that his motivation is kinda unclear and I don't really get what he's doing aha. Has absolutely nothing to really do with the music stuff all said. The whole plot this time around feels a bit more contrived(though the book Does know this and makes some jokes about it), so compared to some of the other Discworld books(like Moving Pictures, which I would align more similarly to this one) feel a lot more organic and the conclusions of everyone feels like it makes sense and is also very fulfilling!
But it's a fun time and I like how the events of the prior books are mentioned in this one, which I feel like I'm gonna get a lot more of as I continue on this train.
