It’s been a while since I read the first 22 books in this series, and I had completely forgotten how funny and insightful Terry Pratchett is. Ended up docking a half star for a few dated references, but I really loved this one.

The story and characters were great, much like any other Terry Pratchett novel, but the fatphobia was rampant throughout the book which made it difficult to read in parts.

This is my favorite disk world so far. It really spoke to me, made me a cuppa, and told me I wasn't alone. It felt really good and I slowed down my reading pace to savor it a bit longer. I'm sure to reread it soon.
