Reviews

Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy * The Guardian *
Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent. * Kirkus *
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of... stuff one can find in a Terry Pratchett book * The Book Smugglers *
Amazing Maurice has one of the most satisfying and effective endings in the series! * Reading Bug *
Humour, humour and more humour, an utterly unpredictable plot, interesting rats - err, characters - and a profound denoument, this is Discworld at its best. * Speculation *
