Pyramids

This book is good in parts. I love the beginning in the Assassins' School, and I like Pteppic and Ptraci (who comes on later), but the pyramid-related parts of the story are rather boring, and the Ephebian philosophers are very boring—fortunately they're a small part of the book.

Unusually, it features none of the regular Discworld characters except Death, who tends to be ever-present, but doesn't have a big role here. Most of the other characters are making their only appearances in the series. I would have been quite pleased to see Pteppic, Ptraci, and perhaps Chidder appearing briefly in some other book, but they never do.
