Instant review: it’s great, read it!

A barbarian horde conquers a foreign empire. A wizzard becomes a wizzzard! Interesting times is as advertised, and Pratchett doesn’t disappoint. Highly recommended.

Spoiler: I would have liked to see Lord Hong challenge Vetinari to a game of chess, and Dibbler and Dibhala have a bake-off.

For: Discworld/Terry Pratchett/fantasy fans, obviously; anyone looking for a fun romp across a fantasy world, especially those who want to see older people as protagonists

Not for: grumps (might want to save this for a cheerful day)

You might also like: Going Postal and Sourcery (also by Terry Pratchett), The Princess Bride by William Goldman, The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie.
