26 May 1988 | Publication | Received well within the growing Discworld readership, with critics noting the increased thematic ambition relative to the earlier Rincewind books. The novel marked a point at which the series was attracting broader critical attention as something more than light comic fantasy. Commercially strong within the established readership, as Pratchett's profile was rising rapidly in the late 1980s. |
