Note the word "reflections" - this is not a review for the second season of the television version of Good Omens, but rather my thoughts after watching it. In other words, beware spoilers if you've not yet watched it.
Good Omens Review
A few years ago, Amazon Prime released a television adaptation, one of those mini-series, of the Neil Gaiman-Terry Pratchett collaboration Good Omens, and it was amongst the best and most faithfully adapted pieces I’ve ever seen.
Witches Abroad Review
Surprise: instead of the review for Pilgrim's Progress or Diné Bahane' that you might have been expecting, I took a break to read and review another Pratchett novel.
The Truth Review
It's said in the news business that if you only tell the truth, your audience will give you poor reviews, but I won't be giving a negative review for Terry Pratchett's The Truth. Actually, I don't know if anyone says that, but like all of the major news agencies, why would I let a little thing like truth get in the way of a good line? After all, a lie can run around the world before the truth had finished putting on its boots.
Unsouled Review
Unsouled, and the Cradle series as a whole, is described as something called martial arts fantasy. The magic system has defined levels of skill, with each skill level gaining distinct abilities and possessing unique attributes. It's not a design that I generally prefer, but it worked well in Unsouled. Which matters, because Unsouled is not necessarily the kind of book that you read for the compelling characters or political drama. You read it for the vivid magical fights.
Thud! Review
A lot of very strange things can, and do, happen on a world that is flat, and is carried on the backs of four elephants perched upon the shell of the great turtle A'Tuan. Terry Pratchett's world and stories seem, on the surface, to be plainly fun. And they are that. Lighthearted and amusing, his stories don't feel heavy, but despite their facade, they in many cases convey unexpected significance. The well-meaning Watch Captain Vimes does just that as he investigates a dwarfish murder.
