Jim's Review

🐛
Welcome to the Discworld, where the rules of reality are more like suggestions. Pratchett's debut Discworld novel is a love letter to (and gentle roast of) every fantasy trope ever written. It's hilarious, inventive, and surprisingly clever beneath all the silliness. The Luggage is Jim's spirit animal — a sentient chest that follows you everywhere? Yes please. Just know that the series gets even better from here. Three worms — a fun starting burrow into a massive world.
