The new Discworld book is the start of a self-contained narrative tunnel within Pratchett's books. There are things that Pratchett revisits but he's not so meticulous in his world building or his system building that you need to know how systems work. This is all I mean it's all set in one location on K'more Pork and like we talked about last time, there aren't too many surprises here.
When Andrew read The Colour of Magic, people suggested that the beginning of the Discworld series was not necessarily the best place to start. Guards! Guards!, the eighth book in the series, is the start of its own contained-ish arc. According to our listeners and many readers, this serves as a more suitable jumping off point.
