Pratchett, Terry - Maskerade

[oyceter]

And we continue to be All Pratchett, All the Time!

Let us not talk about my sleeping habits or what I am not doing in lieu of gobbling down Discworld.

I really loved this one. Not as much as Lords and Ladies because I didn't like this one's ending as much, but this had me giggling like a maniac on the train. I think right now the Witches books

Not yet, I think that's next...

Hee. I've always thought of this as a minor book, but your enthusiasm is reminding me of at its good bits, so thanks.

[oyceter]

It probably is a pretty minor book -- none of the revelations had the same weight as, say, Hogfather, but still! He is satirizing Phantom! I have so much love just for that!

I read this book, then read it aloud to akycha. I burned out my voice doing Granny Weatherwax (who turns unfortunately Appalachian when I read her) AND Christine, but damn it was fun.

[oyceter]

Oh man, reading Christine in particular must be really fun!! Totally!!

I found the ending really annoying. I'm not fond of Granny's smug -- I don't dislike the character in general, but when she gets her smug on it grates. And I didn't feel that Agnes deserved that. There are options other than opera singer and dragging home to do what your elders smugly want, and it annoyed the hell out of me.

[oyceter]

Yeah, I definitely didn't like the ending. I want Agnes to go for what she wants, not end up settling because she feels like she has no other choice. I mean, it would have been different if I had felt that she really did want to go back, but was too stubborn to say so and Granny's smug gave her an excuse, but that didn't seem like it was the case.

Have you read The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents?

[oyceter]

Twice! I squee at all the rattiness in it.
