3.5

if this is your introduction to discworld i'm begging try a later book as well!!
it's very fun, the characters are super enjoyable (rincewind love you) but it's also difficult to follow. I know it's meant to be a satire of fantasy tropes but since i didn't grow up with content from the era it's satirising i'm mostly lost. didn't stop me from enjoying it and the world building tidbits are lots of fun of course
if could explain what happened when they were on a plane for a couple pages that would be grand
regardless i can't hate it for being confusing but it's so fun and charming
