I could write a 12 page essay on this book (on any Pratchett, tbf), but I'll try to keep it brief. 

TL;DR: It's better than Discworld fans will have you believe. 

It has romance and classism, adventure and racism, fashion and feminism. And football. But also Vetinari off his tits and a gay Diego Maradona. So something for everybody. 

GNU Sir Terry Pratchett 💛
