Pero le falta la chispa, el veneno y el pechito que tienen otros. Y el concepto que parodia tampoco es demasiado interesante para mí. ( ) 19. [Pyramids] Terry Pratchett Pteppic is up for his run as a full blown Ankh Morpork assassins guild member. Then his dad dies and he has to head home to be king. Pyramids is one of my favorite Discworld novels. It still makes me snort out loud with amusement every time. I consider Dil and Gern the embalmers and Ptaclusp (and his sons IIa and IIb) the pyramid builders grand old friends. I loved seeing them all again and I look forward to the next time. This is the first book in Discworld’s “ancient civilizations” subseries, and I already miss Granny Weatherwax and Greebo and the Luggage. Like nearly all the DW books so far, it is endlessly quotable, pokes fun at both dearly held beliefs and silly tropes, and frequently provoked a giggle from me when I least expected it. But the pacing was off – it really dragged in places – and the characters were not nearly as engaging as in the other subseries. Overall, it’s a worthwhile read, but not one of Pratchett’s best. I read this book for the Booklikes Halloween Bingo 2019, for the square Poe/Raven: Free Space Oh, yes, I had so much fun. I liked the way Ancient Egypt (and Ancient Greece) were twisted and turned, exaggerated, laughed at. Let’s not forget the puns, either. “Heir today, gone tomorrow” had me guffawing in a slightly undignified way :) When you peel off the lovely layer of hilarity, Terry Pratchett (as usual) has a lot to say about the nature of religion and belief, politics, power structures, traditions etc. P.S. I have now read eight Discworld novels, and it is nice to know that there are still many books left to read :) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Pyramids is the seventh book in the award-winning comic fantasy Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.In Pyramids, you'll discover the tale of Teppic, a student at the Assassin's Guild of Ankh-Morpok and prince of the tiny kingdom of Djelibeybi, thrust into the role of pharaoh after his father's sudden death. It's bad enough being new on the job, but Teppic hasn't a clue as to what a pharaoh is supposed to do. First, there's the monumental task of building a suitable resting place for Dad -- a pyramid to end all pyramids. Then there are the myriad administrative duties, such as dealing with mad priests, sacred crocodiles, and marching mummies. And to top it all off, the adolescent pharaoh discovers deceit, betrayal-not to mention a headstrong handmaiden-at the heart of his realm. Sometimes being a god is no fun at all...
