Mort feels like the point in Discworld where Pratchett really started to figure out what he wanted the series to be. The humor feels more subtle and the serious bits deeper. Do brace yourself for period-typical sexism, ableism, and fatphobia, and xenophobia (the period being the 1980s); but otherwise sit back and enjoy a pretty darned good read.

Moderate: Fatphobia and Murder
Minor: Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Classism
Fatphobia: Throughout the book a character is described as chubby in a way that implies she is unattractive for it. Murder: There's a lot of murder and death in this book as a whole, the whole story is revolved around death. Animal death and cruelty: Near the beginning, a bag of drowned kittens is found. We do see these kittens come up as ghosts which personally made me feel better but it's still definitely saddening for animal lovers. A man attempts to sacrifice an elephant but fails, however the elephant is still injured in the process. Classism: A princess throws out a bit of classism here and there.
