Sometimes this was quite frustrating to read because it reminded me of my past more messy and less secure self. But once I got past that it turned into a fun romance novel. Occasionally kept on wondering if some minor characters or parts of the plot would come up again, but they didn't. This book was very much focused on the relationship between the two central characters. It is about them after all and not about something else!
Can recommend to anyone interested in reading romance about lesbian disaster witches.

@stuebinm@preprint.books.exposed Würde dann wahrscheinlich zu Rumo oder Stadt der träumenden Bücher raten! Hab beide sehr gut in Errinnerung und wollte die nochmal ausgraben irgendwann.

I should take out inn-sewer-ants on my tavern.
@stuebinm@preprint.books.exposed Emily mentioned that this is probably not the best starting point as Pratchett's writing apparently improved quite a bit over his career as an author. It is still a fairly short book and I expect to have finished reading it today, so may just be worth giving it a shot if you feel like it!

After the first Age of Magic the disposal of grimoires began to become a severe problem on the discworld. A spell is still a spell even when imprisoned temporarily in parchment and ink. It has potency. This is not a problem while the book's owner still lives, but on his death the spell book becomes a source of uncontrolled power that cannot easily be defused. In short, spell books leak magic. Various solutions have been tried. Countries near the Rim simply loaded down the books of dead mages with leaden pentalphas and threw them over the Edge. Near the Hub less satisfactory alternatives were available. Inserting the offending books in canisters of negatively polarized octiron and sinking them in the fathomless depths of the sea was one (burial in deep caves on land was earlier ruled out after some districts complained of walking trees and five-headed cats) but before long the magic seeped out and eventually fishermen complained of shoals of invisible fish or psychic clams. A temporary solution was the construction, in various centres of magical lore, of large rooms made of denatured octiron, which is impervious to most forms of magic. Here the more critical grimoires could be stored until their potency had attenuated.

Nooo this passage can't be about nuclear waste, it clearly says that it's about spells! What do you mean metaphor?
In all earnestness, I wasn't expecting this book to have a passage on nuclear waste management, a topic i got really interested in some weeks ago 👀

First Pratchett book for me. Learning all about reflected-sound-of-underground-spirits in this one!

Das ist ein netter und kurzweiliger Abstecher in Walter Moers' Zamonien und hatte mir auf jeden Fall lust gegeben andere Bücher die Moers mittlerweile geschrieben hat auch zu lesen :3
Empfiehlt sich schon die Stadt der träumenden Bücher gelesen zu haben wenn ihr das lesen wollt.
