A review by eshink117
Maskerade by Terry Pratchett

3.0

"This novel is built around parody and, as such, doesn’t add too much outside of the realm in terms of exploration of themes or technique. As I have mentioned before, some of the Discworld novels are better than others, and this feels like one that Pratchett wrote simply because he wanted to parody The Phantom of the Opera. That doesn’t make the book bad or a let-down, but it does confine it to mere entertainment rather than something more. Maskerade is a clever take on the thematic motifs of the opera, musicals, and drama that will leave the reader satisfied." - https://thepastduereview.com/2018/05/02/maskerade-review/
