Terry Pratchett books are my favourite! They are always a good read. This was just the third in Pratchett’s Discworld series, so it’s maybe no real surprise it feels a little rough around the edges. I got the impression it was perhaps written in two parts, with a bit of time passing between them. For two thirds of the tale, I felt the story-line developing and with the scenes changing, it moved at a great pace. However, the last third, when all the ‘magic’ was happening, it felt a bit like it was written while on a psychedelic trip. All that Demons and Wizards sort of stuff just dragged a little for me, and so unusually, I have awarded only four stars. I would still highly recommended it though. |
