This is embarrassing – due to real life events I didn’t get a chance to write any notes or thoughts about Eric! But I did read it! I also didn’t attend the book club!! Oh no! So this is a placeholder and might be updated later. Oops! Final thoughts Surprisingly short, reads very quickly. We’re …read more.
Final thoughts Fucking awesome, best one yet, such a big step up in quality I can remember why people recommend starting here not colour of magic. He’s so into his stride, the plot is tight and packed with jokes and ideas, the characters are all who they will be, just spot on. This is an …read more.
Final thoughts A good book, the characters didn’t stick as hard but some wonderful glimpses at the assassins guild. camels are hilarious, and the armies were brilliant. The score is (brace yourselves) 3 Ptaclusp IIa’s & 2 Ptaclusp IIb’s out of 5! This is an A-tier Pterry book! Favourite quotes Thoughts during reading

Final thoughts Good book, similar quality to colour of magic, more Discworld lore and development, more structure and cohesive, less genre. The score is Three and a Half Dungeon Creatures out of Five This is a C-tier Pterry book! Favourite quotes Thoughts during reading
Final thoughts Good book, very funny in parts, fantastic world building. It’s clear Pterry is feeling out some of the characters (death and the patrician specifically), but his characteristic wit is present throughout. This book is really highlighting a lot of fantasy tropes and subverting them. The score is Four Octavo’s out of Five This …read more.
