Then again, by the end of the book, you will reach the conclusion that whilst the names and the details change, the stories never do. In some ways, it seems strange to me that Pratchett would have waited until the thirteenth book in his series to have made his first real comment on religion, when understanding religion is such a fundamental part of understanding any society and the people in it. It contains the most in-depth treatise on religion that Pratchett had written in the series so far and, if my memory doesn’t deceive me, no other later book goes into quite as much detail either. ![]() ![]() ‘Small Gods’ is, like ‘Mort’, one of those books that is constantly recommended to new readers as one of the best places to start with Discworld. ![]()
