I read some more books by Pratchett
Mar. 18th, 2021 03:08 pmSo after a break from Pratchett, I decided to continue to read some more of his Discworld novels. I think I have forgotten basically everything about the previous because I have a bad memory. However, Discworld novels are standalone books anyway so remembering doesn't matter too much anyway.
I just finished reading "Thief of time". Before I started reading, I was not too thrilled about reading another book about Death and Susan because I did not want to read a rehashed plot but I was pleasantly surprised. In this book, Death and Susan do not take center stage and the protagonist are Lobsang and Jeremy. Lu-Tze and Lobsang have interesting interactions and complement each other well so in my opinion, the parts with them are the best parts of the book.
One issue I have with this book is definitely the uninteresting romance between Lobsang and Susan if that can be called romance. Maybe it should be called vaguely romantic interaction or something. It really comes out of nowhere and feels unnecessary to the plot. In Soul Music, Susan has a sudden crush on a boy that leads to nothing but she is very young in that book so it makes sense. In Thief of Time, it doesn't.
Besides that, I definitely like the book. I still believe the best book featuring Death is Reaper Man but this is probably the second best. However, I might change my mind later when I read the next Death book.
