I have now completed all the Discworld books!
This own is about the invention of the steam engine in discoworld and the connection of the world. Raising Steam is extraordinary in that we get to see interactions between deeply developed characters from multi-book arcs— Vimes and Moist, Harry King, The Patrician. It also deals wonderfully with the Industrial Age development story of the steam engine, from a uniquely Pratchett angle. It does feel like the last book even if it wasn’t intended to be.
