Getting near the end of the book, was worried that it was going to wrap up too much, but seems to have kept a lot of stuff unanswered (while answering some questions) and adding more to the world. Now I presume a long agonising wait for the next book...
Normally, a mere outbreak of petty thefts in a youth hostel wouldn't be enough to interest the great detective Hercule …

We enjoyed the first book more. This one had a lot of stuff to teach the young ones about Egyptian history, but the plot is almost non-existent. Geronimo spends so little time in Egypt and there's not much adventuring elsewhere.

Having read Taran Wanderer many times and seen The Black Cauldron movie more, it's great to see what happened between the two (I'm now going to presume that I remember Taran Wanderer well enough to skip ahead to The High King)
So here's the thing... I'm not going to rate this one mostly because I have mixed feelings about the book which are almost entirely due to the fact that it's not finished. I mean it has an ending, yes, but it wasn't up to the spit and polish that we expect from a Discworld novel.
But that's not the story's fault and it's not Sir Terry's fault it's just the way things are. So it doesn't feel fair to rate it. Would I be rating it or the entire works of Sir Terry or the Discworld series as a whole... I don't know.
