![]() In other words, it’s another piece of the convoluted and self-referencing Discworld series. A children’s book called Where’s My Cow? appears to be a secondary spin-off commercialisation of this same novel. Is Koom Valley, the core of the story, a geographical place or has it become a concept in the mind? What is Koom Valley is a question along the same lines as What is Calvary, a basic hill or a fate or the concept of a stage before redemption that anyone can go through? I can’t be sure whether the Discworld board game (dwarves against trolls) inspired this book or if the book inspired the board game but the game is in parody (not tactical simplification) of the ancient battle described in the book and the book describes the game as if it exists already and which side usually wins, so vice versa. ![]() ![]() Thud is unusual but also only an averagely good Terry Pratchett book by his standards, complimented by a spin-off board game. ![]()
