The fact that Pratchett wrote/published Small Gods, Lords and Ladies, and Men at Arms all within a year is low-key ASTONISHING. What a run.

I love all of Discworld, and whenever one of them is discussed, that's my favourite one in the moment. Lords and Ladies is fabulous, and we even touched on this in our discussion, the more you know - the more you find in these books - The Elf Queen's husband has been combined with the Green Man of Briton myth, the barrows are comparable to those in Salisbury, filled with the heroic dead who will one day be called on to defend England - all in line with similar Arthurian, and Christian tales of a resurrection 'one day'. Jason Ogg - top bloke - and his morris-men are wonderful, and his interaction at the beginning, with Death and Binky is wonderful. Magrat being Magrat is always hilarious, and when you add in a nod to the Schrodinger's cat paradox, how can a book be anything other than superb?

What a great summary thanks Derri. Your knowledge as always blows me away. Lol I like how the elf king lived in the long man 😂😂. Oh yes i love the bit when Jason shoes Binky, the paying of tax I think it was referred to.

@@TreeBeardBookReviews it's why Jason is the best blacksmith - To be given the skill to shoe anything anyone brings him (like our wee ant) is that he *has* to shoe anything anyone brings him - So in shoeing Binky, he earns his right to be the best :)

I’ve only read Equal Rites, but I liked the Death subseries a lot more... I have Witches Abroad on my TBR pile, because I was attracted to the fairy tale thematic, so we’ll see if it sells me on the witches subseries 🤗

[@TreeBeardBookReviews]

Witches Abroad is the book that made me like the Witches, Lords and Ladies made me love them!

[@derrisreaditbefore]

Witches Abroad is literally about how fairy tales work on the Disc, while on a European tour. It has fairy godmothers (good and evil), it has nods to a lot of traditional tales, and none of the main roles in this book are male - it's literally the Witches, the other magic users, and the people they encounter on the way. I love it.

@@derrisreaditbefore That sounds really fun! 😍😅 Though from Sir Terry Pratchett, you could expect nothing less 🤗 Even the “worse” books are so much better than most other authors!

[@derrisreaditbefore]

@@susangel Absolutely! I love Discworld - and watching the Witches work together is a joy.
