accidentalspaceexplorer:Snapshot Reviews: Discworld BooksI’m still slowly making my way through the audiobooks for the Discworld series, and really enjoying them.Maskerade I have very few complaints about this installment in the Discworld, which was a delightful take on The Phantom of the Opera. I very much enjoyed Agnes and her struggle to be taken seriously and seen as valuable, and Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg were clever and hilarious, as always. Also, I thought that the main mystery was very well done - I guessed several of the twists ahead of time, but only after a couple of failed guesses first - and was a much more satisfying way to end The Phantom of the Opera.My one complaint is how often weight was used as the center of a joke - it got very tiresome after the first several.My Rating: 4.5/5—Feet of ClayAn excellent installment - you can really see Pratchett getting into his groove with Discworld, and just writing fantastic book after fantastic book. Really good character work, I still love the Watch, and I’m excited to read more.My Rating: 4.5/5—Hogfather Very fun and funny, and with a well put together plot, too. I quite enjoyed Susan this second time around, although I want her to embrace her magic powers already!! Normal is overrated. Death was delightful, as always.My Rating: 4.5/5—Jingo I thought that Jingo was excellent. Some lines that made me fully laugh out loud rather than just chuckle, a really engaging story, and excellent character work. I thought that the Disorganizer’s gimmick in this book was really well done, and there was a particular moment that really hit me hard. An excellent Discworld, and one that’s held up extremely well in my opinion.My Rating: 4.75/5 -- source link
