I can see some of the charms Pratchett's writing has and can understand why he's so beloved, but I have to say this felt like reading a children's bedtime story. There was some interesting dialogue about doubting your religion, but for the most part conversations were built to fit in as many puns as possible. The vampires weren't scary or interesting enough to root for or against. I didn't feel myself wanting to keep picking this up to read.

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.
