This was such a fun intro to the Discworld! Every time I thought we were following one character, it would switch in the best way possible. The person you think is the Hero is just stereotypically heroic in everything but the end. The person you think is a side character, not super important, has the makings of the Hero that even they didn't know until the end. I love that characters are complex and unpredictable.
