OK. This was way more fun to read than I'd have ever expected. After a string of dry dystopian and altogether awful sci-fi this year, what a treat it is to read something deeply rooted in the fantasy genre and yet humorous to its core. I haven't had so much fun reading since I can remember. ...more

Ah well, I will probably try the next one to see what happens to Rincewind. ...more
