In the first book, Flashman is dark and somewhat angry, and if you're finding it so bleak that it's difficult to read I don't really blame you. The second book, and every subsequent book in the series is much more overtly comic. They're probably worse literature though... the first book has a point to make about the dysfunction of Empire and the nature of heroes, while the rest of them mostly just seem like entertaining romps.

Kajeesus posted:It had that weird orc plot that kind of came out of nowhere and didn't go anywhere. And the Patrician being weirdly obsessed with a random baker, to the point where he puzzles out her secret cheese and onion pie recipe. Other than that, its only crime was being British as git. I still think it was odd that he did the book about goblins after the book where a major plot point is that a character is initially thought to be a goblin, but is later revealed to be an orc. (I think prior to Unseen Academicals the only statement about Goblins in Discworld was "A goblin is a gnome while it is underground. A gnome is a goblin coming up for air" back in the Light Fantastic.)

The_Doctor posted:I’d love if they got Paul Kidby to do a new illustrated Eric. Last Hero is basically Kidby's Eric. I feel like that one is pretty under discussed as well. By far the best appearance for Cohen, and maybe the best Rincewind book too.
