Thief of Time - Terry Pratchett

Thief of Time - Terry Pratchett

I don't know why I didn't review this one before. Death is featured, but once again, more play is given to granddaughter Susan, who, in the ongoing move to Discworld modernity, is now an elementary school teacher. There is an impending apocalypse caused by the Auditors again. We also get a few new characters: one a very talented clockmaker, another a novice under Lo Tze the time monk. Marvelous fun along the way as Pratchett explores what time means to humans. Such fun. There's a yeti.

I should note that reading the Death novels in order has really made me love them. At the moment Susan is my favorite character, although that could change as I read the other sequences.

Veronica could not be swayed by my suggestion that she read Pratchett, but a reputable someone at Summer Ventures recommended one. Now she believes.
