Woof

This is quite a book!

Perhaps it's not as packed with philosophical exploration, but it's a very solid work with a coherent storyline and cute plot twists.

It deserves a careful read. The setups are very smart, with my favorite one unseen camera crew in chapter 9.

This book is never unfun or draggy. Certainly one of my favorite books in Discworld series so far at the reread time. Not lastly because of a great character design of Victor.

Starts off slow...

This one starts off a bit slower than other Discworld novels, but as soon as it starts picking up speed, it never backs down.

Pratchett is as original and as funny as ever in this adventure that's noticeably closer to our world than previous novels.
