Mostly self-induced, so, have book reviews:

I enjoyed this book.

Part of me wonders if I would have enjoyed it more had I read it when it first came out, when anthropomorphic Deaths were less abundant, because that's very much the central point of this book, and I think it may well lose something with it being less of a new thing.

There were lots of parts of the book I enjoyed, particularly Mort waiting in the town square, and I loved Princess Keli, Cutwell and Albert. My main problem was that I felt the book didn't hang together as well as it should.

Still, an enjoyable read.

I didn't like this book on first reading, which may have had more to do with the conditions than the book (peevishly hungover is not a good way of starting a new book). However, I was determined to work my way through the Discworld books, so I started it again.

I'm happy that I did so, because, while certainly not the best of the Discworld books, there are lots of enjoyable parts to this book, and bad puns about geese will always amuse me. I liked a lot of the characters, particularly the hat, and felt sorry for poor Coin.

The opening scene with Ipslore and Death is particularly strong, and I was itching to find out what happened next to Rincewind after the end of the book.
