    Seemed significant enough to warrant its own thread.

    I just finished it, and I really enjoyed it. It feels like the most 'Discworld-y' Discworld book in a while, focusing on characters more than developing the Disc itself. And it's worth reading solely for one early sequence that's probably the most emotional moment the series has ever had, for my money.
    RIP Granny. You earned it.

    It isn't perfect, but the flaws are all because of the embuggerance, so it doesn't really seem right to highlight them. It's still better than the last couple of installments, and while it might not be the best of the series, it's a worthy finale.

    Edit: could a mod pop in the missing d in the title? Bloody phone keyboard...
