More consistency, but less brilliance than Semiosis. An enjoyable read, but not the refined sequel I had been hoping for.

Starts as an absolute corker of a fantasy novel and is riveting right up until the relentless pacing starts to grind you down.

A mixed genre novel with the usual questions of what is reality. Not quite up to Reynolds usual standards, but an enjoyable read nonetheless.

Boring and repetitive military sci-fi. A bit like the worst parts of Conan the Barbarian, only without any remotely interesting characters.

A solid story abut first contact and the nature of intelligence. Let down a little by some slightly forced drama, but a pleasing read nonetheless.

A poor adaptation of a video game that has little plot and devolves into crass and unimaginative attempts at 'humour'. Such a shame.

A classic H.G. Wells style alien invasion story wonderfully executed.

Another brilliant entry in the series. The swamp dragons are perhaps my new favourite fantasy creature.

A pitch-perfect satire on the themes of Ancient Egypt. No the strongest Discworld book in terms of plot, but definitely the funniest so far.

Fantastic characters and a genuinely different setting make this the best Discworld book so far. Highly recommend.

The weakest novel in the series so far. Not a terrible read, but feels like it constitutes mainly of recycled jokes from the first few books.

A mix of promising ingredients ruined by a lacklustre protagonist and overly descriptive prose.
