Whoo mama this was good.
This is a book about the importance of personal death, about the relationship people create between themselves and the things they fear. It explores the fact that we can love just about anything with a face and a voice and insists that we deserve to be loved back… all in a silly little Discworld book. I was tempted to give a 4.75 because Windle Poons’ B plot was something I mostly just sped through to get back to Bill Door, but I think his plot was very clever, too, and never unenjoyable. And I think the exploration of the importance of death made sense in this story.
I found out that there is an album by Louie Zong inspired by Discworld after reading this book and at least four if the ten songs are about the death trilogy! Which honestly makes me respect it more- whenever I see someone has made art about a thing it makes me give it a lot more credit and consideration.
The scene with the machine in the middle of the storm and the harvest dance were my favorites.
