LOVED this book. It was so clever!!!
I adored all the characters involved with the Post Office, each were so sweet and lovable in their own way. Each part of the plot was so cleverly done and the way each loose end was woven into the tapestry of this tale was perfectly executed.
I cannot wait to read more books about Moist Von Lipwig, even if his first name is the absolute worst 🤣

Another delightful incursion in the Discworld's universe ! This one reminded me of Guard ! Guards ! (some background character come back).
I really enjoyed the story of how the postal service was brought back from its ashes (ha !) and the colorful cast of characters. The topic of big tech companies run buy money-grabbing egoists harming perfectly good services is more pertinent now than ever, sadly, but it felt good to have it fixed up. Government (and service) efficiency is a kind of fix-it fantasy I appreciate more and more as I get older.
As I already noticed with Guard ! Guards !, the romance isn't really the strong suit of the story (it's serviceable but secondary, tertiary even), but Ankh-Morkpork and the Discworld setting largely made up for that.
Finally, I really, really liked Moist as a character ! He might have a special place in my heart.

Having just finished this book for the umpteenth time, I just want to say that rereading a favorite Discworld book is like being able to return to an old mine and somehow being able to find a new seam of gold every time. There is somehow always new treasure to be found within the pages to make me laugh, think, or at least burst out in a big toothy grin.
