My favorite Discworld plots were in the City Watch and Moist von Lipwig lines, so I never bothered to pick up the others. My husband read Wee Free Men, as well as several of the Discworld books about witches, and has been telling me for ages that I would enjoy the feminist themes that emerge in those stories. Let’s give those fantasy books a makeover! In my opinion, more readers might cross into the fantasy genre if the covers didn’t have such a cliché look.ĭoes it break the slate? This is such a Slatebreaking book. This is the case with most fantasy covers that I see. If this cover didn’t say “Terry Pratchett” on it I would not have given it a second glance in a bookstore or library. And the wee blue men, who frankly look like cartoons, don’t really add to its appeal. There’s definitely a headless female on this cover – that’s a pet peeve of mine, so it’s difficult to ignore that. Fantasy is not a genre I typically read, but I make exceptions for Sir Terry. Currently available.įace Value: I’m afraid to admit this, but…the cover is too “fantasy” for me. I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett.
