– Tiffany’s brief visit to Ankh-Morpork, featuring bumping into a disgruntled Sam Vimes, is a wonderful scene that you feel is written directly for the fans. – A very dark Tiffany Aching novel, one which does not shy away from exploring the darkness that can sometimes be found in ordinary people, despite being for younger readers. – Om, the disgruntled god and Brutha, his only follower, are my favourite characters who make a one book appearance in the series. – One of the novels in which Sir Terry clearly has a statement to make in this case, the danger of investing yourself so deeply into a set of ideals that you are blind to any other way of thinking. – The first novel of the ‘species acceptance stories’, which means it’s fresh reading it here. – Sir Terry was really getting into the swing of the Watch novels by this, the third one all of the characters are distinctive and in possession of strong moral compasses that set them apart from others on the Disc. So each book received a rating out of ten and a position in the charts, and I hope the result is vaguely fair and gives you a good impression of the quality of the books as well as just how gosh darn enjoyable I found them.
I wanted to try and take those scores into account, knowing that my own opinions will always be biased.
This isn’t the first time a ranking of the Discworld books has been done and I doubt it will be the last, but what makes my countdown different is that it’s partly personal to me, partly based on the scores each book received on a well-known book reading and rating website.
