I just picked up Unseen Acidemicals, a new book from terry pratchet I just stumbled on. Anybody else pick it up? I haven't gotten into it yet.


Edit: Well Mr. Shannow, I stand very corrected.

I also picked up the The gathering storm the first of the last three books in the wheel of time series, but as I am certain I'm the only one in this forum who likes the wheel of time series this thread isn't about that.

Finished it the other day. its... well, its *good*, but... its not great. It just feels like theres something missing. I don't know whether its the characters, or the plot or anything else, but it feels kind of...meh.

that said, I still enjoyed reading it, which is par for the course for Pratchett. And 'mister Nutt' is awesome.

Well, you've also got to remember that the man is sick. Early Onset Alzheimer's, and he's said himself he's only feeling like he has time for a few more books. I'm sure there's going to be a slow decline in quality over the next few years, sadly.

I haven't read a new Pratchett in awhile, I still have Thud! to get through as well.

I actually finished it last week but I'm posting my opinion of it now, cause I'm edgy like that.

I really enjoyed it, didn't feel like it was missing anything to me, although I did notice a few differences in his normal writing habits. There are usually allusions as to when a new/old god is reappearing/emerging. His writing style also seemed a little less...hyper? Vetinari also seemed very animated....well for vetinari anyways.
