Series: Discworld #26 Excellent Pratchett. I'm not sure what else to say. There's an organisation called the Monks of History that can basically control time and Susan shows up to save the world. With "help" (/hindrance) from the Death of Rats and its Raven. If you'd like to know more or just gi...
Thief of Time is the fifth and final(!) book in the Death subseries of Discworld. I’ve always been a little iffy on this subseries, but I think this was my favorite of the five books. The general story is that an Auditor has commissioned a clockmaker, Jeremy, to make a special clock. What the Aud...
The rules of the universe are once again being bent to endanger life, but this time it is really Time itself that is being used as the weapon of choice. The 26th installment of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series finds many characters quite literally being a Thief of Time from certain points of view...
I've lost count of how many times I've read this one. Along with Night Watch, it's one of my favorites from all of the Discworld series. It's less a parody of one specific story and more of a meditation on the definitions, limitations, and resilience of humanity. It's about history and love and deat...
3/26/2004 6/27/2014I don't know why I didn't review this one before.

There is an impending apocalypse caused by the Auditors again. We a...

The author either starts to repeat themselves with characters and situations or goes off into outlandish events that just are not believable. Not so with Terry ...
Ever had a perfect moment?The Auditors, a sort of anti-entropic force of beings in the universe, want to have one by freezing the entire universe. To that end, they've enlisted a clockmaker to build an absolutely accurate clock out of glass. And with the end of the continuation of the world on the l...
Death's grand daughter is featured! it made me want to read the one where death had an apprentice.A tad too romantic & too much kung fu film spoof but still wonderful as Pratchett usually is.
Thief of Time is a story about the History Monks and how they manage Time on the Disc. It’s about a young apprentice to Lu Tze, the Sweeper, who first appeared in #13 Small Gods. It’s also about the building of a clock so accurate that it follows the tick of the Universe.I almost don’t know how to r...
