Compared to other Pratchett books I found this one a bit grim, although with a more hopeful ending. It just didn't have the light-hearted moments I expected. This was possibly also due to Andy Serkis' delivery - his character voices were varied and enjoyable but his narrator voice was bordering on gloomy. It was ages since I read this so I didn't remember much of the plot. Great cameo appearances by side characters and countries mentioned in other novels.

"I used to think that I was stupid, and then I met philosophers."

In Small Gods weet Terry Pratchet een verhaal te schrijven dat ondanks de humoristische elementen toch zeer serieuze materie weet te gebruiken als voer voor een boeiend en spannend boek. De band die ontstaat tussen de god Om en Brutha was echt leuk om tot bloei te zien komen. Dit gaat zeker niet mijn laatste Discworld boek zijn.

The audiobook wasn't making any sense to me - read the physical book instead
