Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. --Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

    Rereading Discworld is different but still the same. Maybe I'm more cynical than when I was a teenager.

    Been wanting to read this for a while, and since this is one of the books from the Spring 2025 Readalong, I feel like it's the perfect time to start this book!

    A delightfully unhinged cosy murder mystery with a dash of chilli oil. Vera gives us a masterclass in meddling and guilt-tripping for the greater good. Why solve crimes quietly when you can trauma-bond strangers over dumplings? The food descriptions made me hungry and nostalgic and for that alone it was a fun read. I look forward to the next one.

    Read in order?

    Does this book need to be read in the order of the series?

    How do you guys imagine the transvects? As far as I can glean, they are big wooden trains that float in the sky?

    A folklore fever dream. Expect sword fights so sharp you’ll flinch, stories stacked like lies on lies, and a found family bound by sarcasm and near-death experiences. It’s short, slightly meandering, and absolutely glorious.
