"The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody as opposed to derivative manipulation of past motifs, who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences."
--A.S. Byatt in "The New York Times"
"A passion for language, wordplay and puns bursts from the pages."

a good, engaging fantasy thriller here."
