Read 3 times. Last read May 3, 2020 to May 6, 2020.
I'm about half way through and am truly thrilled by this one. Pratchett is brilliant at writing how people think about things, and think their way through things, and this story, focused on two young people in a catastrophe, is all about thinking their way through.
***
Lovely. A little sad, but appropriately so. Also, funny as hell. Love the premise, and I'm feeling smug that he mentions thinking among his brief notes at the back.
This may be my favorite Pratchett.
***
I grabbed this from the library because Pratchett, and it must have been out on display. Doesn't matter. I had not remembered that it started with a plague.
It's a very hopeful book.
