Well, i was dissapointed in it. Felt a bit flat, i felt. Didn't really get going.

Far, far from his best work. Since Going Postal was so good, I think it made the failure of this book to hit the mark harder to swallow.

It wasn't a BAD book, it just wasn't anything great. Mediocre. And i've come to expect more from this author.

Following on from the lackluster Thud, i'm vaguely concerned that it might be on a terminal decline now. Or, perhaps, it needs to move away from Ankh for a while. It would be nice to see a character other than Vimes or Vetinari.

The Vimes obsession has been bugging me for a while, even the completely unrelated to ankh book, Monstrous Regiment, had to have him shoehorned into it somewhere.

And, of course, the Igor fetish continues.

I don't know. The mans clearly got an imagination, i just think he doesn't seem to be using it much these days.
