Re-read. Still as funny and cleverly plotted as it was when I first read it many years ago.

Hogfather - 5/5
Really in the upper tier of Discworld and a perfect Christmas/New Year read, and that's saying a lot. Pratchett gets the mix of comedy, character, world, and themes down flawlessly and I loved every page, from the parts focused on the main characters to the little side digressions. The plot is a little scattered, Pratchett's plotting has never been the tightest, and one or two jokes fell flat, but these are pretty minor complaints for an otherwise incredibly good book.
Weird, I'm about halfway through the main Discworld series now, what a journey.

This was mostly just a fun romp, but must say the ending came together more so than I’d expected it to. It leans a little heavy into the amusing vs systemic things I like as well. But has an undeniable charm to it, I think.
