I'm struggling to rate and review this book because it is probably the most unique novel I have ever read. The entire experience of weaveworld feels eerily close to what Wonderland is described to be within the book - a world teetering at the edge of human comprehension. I'm very unsure who I would recommend this book to, all I can really be sure about is that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A short but enjoyable read about some viking men out of their prime. No surprises in the book, you get exactly what you expect from the blurb + the next few chapters, but it doesn't drag itself and the perspective is pretty fresh. Also pretty funny.

Hobbs prose still remains amazing in this final instalment, however the middle portion of the book becomes repetitive and pretty useless to the story. The trilogy is ended off at a nice place, especially as you see fitz' and fools relationship explored more, however I was just not a fan of starling at all and it took a bit away from the ending. The Series as a whole was still amazing and I can't wait to finish the story.

I enjoyed the dynamic between student and teacher here, but the conclusion as a whole felt a bit weak. I'm not sure what I want from a chosen one storyline, but this dark gritty lens the whole world is shown to us as a reader feels less impactful when there's a nice little bow at the end where a lot of the consequences seems to dissipate.

It probably still would've gotten a higher rating if not for the fact that most of the female characters here felt really weirdly written? Almost all of them seemed to be cemented into the perspective of another male, as if their existence was reliant on a males orbit? I'm not sure how to describe it otherwise.

Pratchet's works always balance and enticing story with entertaining literature amazingly. A short but sweet adventure with a unique style of writing unique to this author and it's obnoxious world.
