Hogfather by Terry Pratchett
adventurous
mysterious
2.5
Another Pratchett classic that didn't quite hit the mark for me.
I recently got into reading Pratchett's works so reserved this copy on libby as hey, it's Christmas! It came in right on time and I loved the premise of the book.
It starts strong and, as always, I really enjoyed Pratchett's use of mystery, humour, and intrigue but the further I got into this the more I felt it didn't quite hit the mark for me.
I enjoyed each individual element, but the way they're woven together came across as uncompelling and, in some cases, a bit hard to follow.
The more I read of Pratchett, the more I find myself expecting to like his work more than I do. I wonder if maybe his books just aren't for me but I can't put into text why.
Overall, not a book I'd reccomend but it wasn't too offensively bad or overly long.
