A review by bookphile
The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett
4.0
Another fantastic installment.
It was super great to see the world outside of Ankh Morpork and explore more of Discworld. This one dealt specifically with the immigrant diaspora, belonging, cultural shifts and evolution.
It's just super interesting to watch Sam Vines change, he'd made such a huge journey from being a drunk to being a wily politician. The other characters have changed too, but not as much, and sometimes I do wish we would focus on them.
I would love to read about Cheery's internal turmoil or Angua's pain. But also it's amazing that we can see it from the little we see of it.
Gosh, I love this series so much.
