kwmg40 I enjoyed this one very much. I'd read it several years ago, but liked it even more on reread, mostly because I appreciated the return of Gaspode after having read Moving Pictures since. 3m

so-so

This one was difficult to get into due to current events. Pratchett takes a hard stab at racism and prejudice, and what happens when two factions fight over a resource and a plan on making siege weapons. Although Pratchett's intent was good in satirizing both sides, the Middle Eastern presenting people feel more like stereotypical caricatures than actual human beings. I found their portrayal to be very racist, although I am aware it's accidental.

Doppoetry There is a very fine line between poking fun of those in power and making fun and mocking a minority group.

The tonal shift in this book was a bit jarring, but I think it fit for what the author was going for.

Overall, I think there was probably a better way to go about portraying people of color who are the major focus of the story with more empathy. But aside from that he did what he set out to do. 5d

I actually really enjoyed this one! The story felt a bit more concise and focused. The humor felt a bit more well-timed and full of witty one-liners that actually added to the story instead of being peppered in to accentuate the absurdist style. The moral and religious commentary was really enjoyable.
