Exquisite. Sir Terry at his finest: ironic, insightful, chiding, and above all suffused with kindness. Gently pushing us toward better versions of ourselves. His characters are decent humans, imperfect, making the best out of impossible situations. How would you and I react in those circumstances? I know I'd fall short, today, but maybe I can strive to be better tomorrow.Note to those unfamiliar with Sir Terry: you could conceivably start with this one, but you will get much more out of it if you've read [b:Small Gods 34484 Small Gods (Discworld, #13) Terry Pratchett https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390899426s/34484.jpg 1636629], the Death series, and other City Watch novels. (See the reading order guide for a helpful diagram). That's a lot to ask; I think it helped my appreciation and I encourage you to consider it.
