What makes someone a bad person? What does justice look like? Both are questions Pratchett digs around in quite a bit. He starts out with a set of assumptions about himself and the world and by the end all that’s been turned on its head. Moist grows and changes significantly from the beginning of the book to the end.
Unlike many books in the Discworld series, this book had one main protagonist instead of many. During which process he finds out the real cost of a con. Moist von Lipwig is a con man charged with the task of reviving the dusty and outdated postal system in Ankh-Morpork. Not to say I don’t appreciate multiple narratives, but sometimes it makes it a tad less enjoyable. I liked that it focused on one character and you really get to know him.
I think this is one of my favorite Discworld books so far! Whereas some of the other stories in the series are a little too light on character development and plot, this one feels like a full/complete story. Life should be made of moments like this, he decided.
He felt the tingle he always felt when the game was afoot. Spools into the building, politely closing the door in the face of the crowd.
