This is the third book in the Diskworld series and it feels like Pratchett was finally getting into his stride with this one. The first two books are a bit too episodic and incoherent, but this one is much more clearly plotted. Some people have complained about a lack of humour ("lack" being a relative term where Pratchett is concerned) however, personally, I would rather sacrifice some of the scattergun jokes for a better plot.

The first two books had me a little concerned that my rose tinted glasses were a little wonky, but this has left me much more confident about continuing on with the series.
