Just one more to go and I'm finished the whole of Discworld. I will never read any books in this amazing series for the first time again. 😢
That being said, this is my least favourite Discworld book in a long time (not my least favourite Discworld book ever though. That honour still remains with Interesting Times). It was still phenomenal? I don't know if it's because I had more issues focusing on the audiobook than usual or what. But I'm pretty sure there were reused metaphors and some scenes just seemed weirdly saccharine.
Those complaints aside, this book was still phenomenal, and Pratchett continues to prove he is a master at his craft.
