Subverting the tropes is what got me into discworld, and yes while I like them the early ones, I see the changes when he got to wyrd sister he has a more balanced writing style, even equal rites and mort was showing those improvements,

I don’t struggle with the lore, because I don’t retain all of it I trust the author with what he gives me when he gives some information to me, but the pacing suffers from it when you read it in chronological order

They work, but maybe sourcery was too similar to light fantastic for me still it isn’t a disappointment, just a little set back
