Join me on a read through of Discworld! Today we're looking at the seventh book, Pyramids, the first true stand-alone novel. This is a spoiler free review to help you decide if you want to read it.
Although fair warning, this book is a bit rough! There is no such thing as a bad Discworld book. Every Discworld book is beautiful in its own way. But many fans would agree, if we had to pick our least favourite, it would by Pyramids! Let's have a look at exactly why this is.
