“You had to hand it to the Patrician, he admitted grudgingly. If you didn’t, he sent men to come and take it away.”

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

February 26, 2021 by Malin 4 Comments

The Night Watch of the sprawling city of Ankh-Morpork consists of only three people (although people might question if Nobby Nobbs is entirely human) led by the depressed and shambolic Captain Samuel Vimes. No one is more surprised than he when he finds out that they have a new recruit from the mountains who actually volunteed for the Watch. No one ever does that. The fact that young Carrot Ironfunderson claims to be a dwarf, even though he’s 6 foot 2 and seems to keep […]

Open Your Eyes and Then Open Them Again

The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

February 25, 2021 by Ale Leave a Comment

I will forever and always love Terry Pratchett and everything he ever wrote. The fact that we will never get a new Pratchett novel still makes me sad, and I’ve stayed away from any rereads of his books for a while since they just make me miss him. But my awesome CBR book exchange partner sent me The Wee Free Men for book exchange, and after the year we all had, I both wanted to reread something I knew I’d love, and comfort myself with […]

“…it’s a wonderful afterlife.”

Reaper Man: A Novel of Discworld by Terry Pratchett

January 17, 2021 by ElCicco 2 Comments

If we knew when we were going to die, people would lead better lives. IF PEOPLE KNEW WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO DIE, I THINK THEY PROBABLY WOULDN’T LIVE AT ALL. In which I continue with my reading of Terry Pratchett, focusing on the Death novels. Reaper Man is the second Death novel, i.e., a Discworld novel featuring Death as a main character. In Mort, Death took on an apprentice so that he could go off and try to experience human emotion for himself. In […]

“You need to believe in things that aren’t true. How else can they become?”

Hogfather (Discworld #20) by Terry Pratchett

December 29, 2020 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

Christmas of 2019, I received many books most of which I have not managed to read in 2020. One of the ones I did get to however was Hogfather, specifically because I wanted something Christmas adjacent in this year of not really having my usual holiday traditions and routines. I’m glad that I revisited Discworld this month, even if I couldn’t really sink into it. But that’s definitely a me problem in this adjective year, and not a problem with the book. Hogfather tells the […]

Stepping into one of the most detailed worlds imagined

Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett

August 29, 2020 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

Eskarina Smith is the 8th child of an 8th son born in the little town called Bad Ass. She should have been the 8th son of an 8th son, but life has a way of mucking things up. What makes Eskarina, Esk for short, even more special is that she may just be the first female wizard in the history of Discworld. Esk grows up to nearly nine without incident until the local witch, Granny Weatherwax, tries to lead her away from wizardry to much […]
