Content warnings that's not a covered tag, yummy and not so yummy food is mentioned frequently
And despite me having tagged a bunch of triggers (for honesty), its more of a case in like a kids tv show like yes technically these dark things are there but few are is triggered by or even notice it due to the general theme and lack of seriousness.
Kinda like cartoon logic, sure theyre doing life threatening things but they're immortal so it doesn't have the same stakes kind of vibe a la roger rabbit, rather than recent gritty dc movies or a horror movie lol
The only really triggering and unnecessary part for me as a survivor of a bunch of bs, is the body shaming of the women

I had a fun time reading this book! I had, as a whole, enjoyed the Rincewind focused books more as Ive been working through the Discworld books, but this one tickles me just as much, if not more. The elements Macbeth and Hamlet that are put in here really add to the enjoyment for me as well!
