It's not a discworld novel, and it seems this is obvious but essential knowledge for appreciating this book.

Still it's a cool idea for an alternative world - and mainly it feels like that's what it is. An exploration of an idea much more than a fully plotted tale. It's a writing style which leaves much to the own imagination - what would you do, were you able to step? What stories could be happening on stepwise worlds?

I understand this sort of book isn't for everyone and also not for every reading mood. Sometimes a properly bound and finished story is what you need, sometimes a more or less loose collection of stories around a certain topic is more to your liking.

If you feel open for adventure, here you should certainly take a step or a million.
