Read 2 times. Last read July 21, 2024 to July 24, 2024.
2024 onwards Buddy read with Trish
And here i am almost 5 years later agreeing with my earlier self. It does feel too short, reading on kindle i was shocked when i suddenly discovered that was it. And it isn’t as funny as other Rincewind, Luggage or Death novels.
Sorry, but that is just my opinion 😬
2019 Series read , that I never quite finished
I will write more tomorrow, but I just want to apologise to die hard Sir Terry fans for my rating. I just thought it was weak and whilst amusing in parts even Rincewind and the Luggage didn’t make me laugh out loud.
It was Pratchett- lite !
And for once it is tomorrow that I write this review, mainly because I felt Sir Terry deserved to know why I had only given this 3 stars. On reflection I think this 3.5 ⭐️ as there are some funny bits and it does have Rincewind , the Luggage (who I just adore) and briefly DEATH ( who I also adore, is that weird ? ), but .... And there is a but. It was a) too short b) not finished (view spoiler) and c) it was all too easy. Rincewind struggles normally, this time it was all too easy. Yes there were some funny bits with (view spoiler)
So I am sticking with my 3 stars as it is the "not-good-est" ( I refuse to say worst) Discworld I have read so far.
Sorry (the late) Sir Terry.
