5 November 1992 | Publication | Received as one of the finest Discworld novels, with considerable critical praise for the reimagining of elves and the seriousness with which Pratchett treated the threat they represented. The novel's examination of nostalgia and the romanticisation of the past was widely discussed. It is frequently cited alongside Night Watch and Small Gods as evidence of the Discworld's capacity for genuine darkness beneath its comic surface. |
