3 May 2001 | Publication | Received positively, with critics praising its philosophical ambition and the return of Susan as a major character. Some reviewers considered it among the more complex Discworld novels in its treatment of time and consciousness. It was compared favourably to Small Gods as one of the series' most intellectually engaged works. Commercially strong within the established Discworld readership. |
2002 | Award Nominated | Locus Award Fantasy novel category, 5th place |
