PodCastle Review 1: Unseen Academicals
Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett
Reviewed by Bill Peters
PodCastle’s very first review!
It is remarkably hard to review Unseen Academicals, what Terry Pratchett says will likely be his penultimate work. Most people who’ve read Pratchett and liked it have gotten attached to him in a way they don’t to other authors. Part of this is certainly due to the regular and breakneck pace at which he writes, averaging at least one book a year since the first Discworld novel was published in 1983, twenty five years ago. The other part is that many of us would like to live in his world, and we know it will soon be robbed from us.
Minor Spoilers Ensue! (Don’t worry – we don’t tell you how it ends or anything!)
