Series: Discworld #19 I don’t usually think to reread this one, but as I’ve been finding with these older Discworld books once Pratchett hit his stride, it’s really quite good, with the golems and Dorfl and Rogers, the bulls.

Most of the time, it doesn't bother me, but I usually don't read them so close together either. This one ca...
