3.5
This one for me much more engaging and funnier than the first one. Not without its problems and some things didn't land - notably, I'm not a fun of Bethan and Cohen thing. I recognize that it's a jab I just don't think it's a good one.
Worldbuilding continues to be the most interesting part for me. Still just as rich, but in this one, it felt more seamless than previous one.
Another surprising thing for me was Rincewind and his not grand, but still very present character arc. Made him not just funny protagonist but funny and genuinely very interesting for me to follow. Twoflower was also funny and much more balanced in his sincerity and romantic ideals, and being a jab at tourist and tourism.
Overall, a good block of fascinating worldbuilding for the series with a funny and more or less interesting to follow story with solid characters. .5 for being genuinely engaging.
