Me ha gustado muchísimo. La saga de la Guardia ha conseguido que me adentre en este mundo asombroso, y la forma en la que el autor te sumerge en el Mundodisco, esa forma de enlazar las cosas, los personajes... es que no me puedo quejar, me impresiona muchísimo. Además, se disfruta más cuando ya le has cogido el truco al sentido del humor. No puedo hacer otra cosa más que recomendarlo. Próximamente, review en la web.
This is such an amazing book (my first Terry Pratchett book), would have given it a 5/5, but the last 20-30 pages just falls apart pacing wise and depends on some rushed exposition crammed into the last 2-3 pages that I had to open up the plot of the book on Wikipedia to understand it, the end also just feels out of place with the rest of the book. The first like 90% however has to be one of the most enjoyable reads I've ever had, every page (up to those last few) a pure joy.
Me encantó esta entrega de MundoDisco. La traducción que leí no es del todo buena, aunque debo aclarar que no es precisamente la de éste ISBN que cargué aquí arriba pero es que me daba pereza cargar uno nuevo. Muy recomendable para los que gustamos del género.
