TLDR: The book is very good but didn't connect to me enough to get a five star rating. Still highly recommend it.
Positives:
Positives:
- The humor is great, as always
- The plot is whimsical and fun, but also manages to get some nice darker moments in.
- I liked the themes this book delved into and its message. It might be a bit heavy-handed for some but I thought it was fitting.
- Tiffany is a great protagonist. I wish I'd read this when I was younger because I can imagine younger me relating a lot.
- Everything has surprising depth, though I shouldn't be surprised since this is Discworld
- The book is paced very well. I was never bored, nor was I at any point overwhelmed with new information.
Negatives:
- Some of the jokes got tiring after a while, such as how some of the recurring characters have ridiculously long names
- I struggled to get attached to any of the characters besides Tiffany and maybe Miss Tick.
