Mort

The pages just fly by when reading this book. The writing style is superb. It's clever, witty and well-paced. Just enough surprises in wording, comparisons and structure to make this a real page turner without getting exhausting. That said, I am just not a fantasy fan and probably never will be. The story didn't particularly grab me and while the world is clearly well thought out, I couldn't care less about in which part of what continent university x was located before it was moved by ruler z to its new location in city y. That's just me though.

This is such an amazing book (my first Terry Pratchett book), would have given it a 5/5, but the last 20-30 pages just falls apart pacing wise and depends on some rushed exposition crammed into the last 2-3 pages that I had to open up the plot of the book on Wikipedia to understand it, the end also just feels out of place with the rest of the book. The first like 90% however has to be one of the most enjoyable reads I've ever had, every page (up to those last few) a pure joy.

Me encantó esta entrega de MundoDisco. La traducción que leí no es del todo buena, aunque debo aclarar que no es precisamente la de éste ISBN que cargué aquí arriba pero es que me daba pereza cargar uno nuevo. Muy recomendable para los que gustamos del género.
