This is the first book in Discworld’s “ancient civilizations” subseries, and I already miss Granny Weatherwax and Greebo and the Luggage. Like nearly all the DW books so far, it is endlessly quotable, pokes fun at both dearly held beliefs and silly tropes, and frequently provoked a giggle from me wh...
Pratchett vs. Egypt? Guess who wins?What happens when an assassin inherits a kingdom that is stuck in the past? Read this to find out.In fact, I think Pratchett might have been on to something
I'll never look at camels the same way again. The trouble I guess with this is...well, we have this hero, who becomes the king. He's trained with the Assassins' Guild and...other than a few displays of his sneaking skills, we don't really see it. The chief priest pretty much runs the kingdom, as h...
This book is a more-or-less standalone novel in the Discworld universe. The chart shows it as the start of the Ancient Civilizations subseries, but it only has a dotted line (minor connection) to other books. I enjoyed this, but not as much as some of the previous Discworld books. The protagonis...
I am really glad that I decided to reread a the Discworld novels to give them a better commentary as I have found that I have been quite enjoying them, and in many ways they have been getting better and better. However, this is the second to last one that I read (and it seems that I may have origina...
Enjoyed this much more than the last one in the Discworld series. Pratchett's ability to take a complete disaster and make it funny is pure genius to me. I thought Teppic was better off as an assassin than a king anyway.....
Teppic is the prince of Djelibeybi, a land wrapped in its traditions and rituals.After being sent to the Assassins Guild in Ankh-Morpork to learn a trade, he gets some strange ideas on how to modernise his homeland on his return.Dios the high priest thinks change is a bad thing and doesn't like Tepp...
Pirómides reseña en español ----> Click Aquí.Pyramids is the first stand-alone Discworld novel. Teppic is the heir of an ancient kingdom (similar to the Ancient Egypt) which is extremely out dated and it's ruled by a mad priest who manipulates the Pharaoh and doesn't want to change the ridiculous t...
The seventh installment of Discworld finds Terry Pratchett giving the reader a glimpse into the Kingdom of Djelibeybi and it's Assassin Guild-trained new king, Teppic. The story revolves various themes such as tradition vs. innovation, belief vs. reality, three-dimensional thinking vs. four-dimensio...
What is it about? Terry takes the bullshit of "magical property of pyramids" bullshit and lead it to take on real effects in his story. It is a joyful ride. You don't really know where you ended up with, especially if you are on a camel's back. It is that kind of a story. The key character is a pr...
