Fun, but needs more luggage, tbh.

I can never get enough of Pratchett's way with words, especially his descriptions: He looked the kind of person who, when they blink, you mark it off on the calendar. This was a really fun novel, with some great characters: Rincewind, of course, but also Conina and Nijel, a repeat appearance b...
