So, this is it. I read my first Discworld books sometime in high school, and then seriously decided I was going to read the whole series back in 2014. And here I am, a decade later, finally finished with the last book. This was... a really great book. This was a really great series.
There's more than character development in this series. There's world development. And I don't mean that in the usual sense, but in the sense that the world of Discworld, the world itself, evolved and changed, and started at one place and ended in another, and there was just a whole character arc, I guess you could say, for the world itself as Terry Pratchett evolved and changed as an author. And it's really something beautiful to behold, when you put it all together like that, from the beginning to the very end.
I'm going to miss this world. I'm going to miss having new books to come to in it. But I'm absolutely going to revisit it. How could I not, when I can see the whole picture now?
