- Diverse cast of characters? No
This book does have some fun moments. We get our first introduction to Archchancellor Ridcully and Ponder Stibbons. Gaspode the Wonder Dog is a darned delight. And that climactic scene is pretty edge-of-your-seat.
Still. My favorite Discworld books are the ones where Pratchett brings his keen perceptions and sharp humor to shared human concerns. "Everything in Hollywood is fake and trolls are stupid" proved to be a very thin frame to hang a book off.
