4.5 stars. A great end to the series, there were just a few ends that were not tied up. And why bother with the whole thinker computer? It never really seemed to play a part in the end.

I actually enjoyed the fourth book in the series after painfully dragging myself through the first three (only because of my love of Terry Pratchett). I wish this series had finished on book 4 because after reading this book I really don’t know what the point of it is. Nothing seems to happen or if does it is summed up so quickly that you find yourself not actually caring. Unlike everything else by TP, this is never going to be re-read.

2.5/5
The most underwhelming book in the series. Pratchett's quirk was missed. It started out interesting but after getting more than halfway and seeing that the plot was going nowhere, I quickly lost interest and struggled through the remaining parts of the book. Lacklustre.

Nearly as good as the original. Far better than the previous books. Nice send off for most of the characters, but still left some questions.

Five stars, mostly because of nostalgia.
Sancho is obviously an homage to the Librarian from the Discworld novels.
Pratchett is clearly missing from most of this novel, with a few standout exceptions- the tree planet for one.
The ending was anti-climactic. But it worked for me. There are still questions to be answered, and it doesn't bother me with this book.
