GNU Terry Pratchett

It’s been three years since the death of Terry Pratchett, and since I wrote my original post about him. Since then his final novel, the Shepherd’s Crown has been published, there’s been a documentary about him, Back in Black and production is in full swing for both a Good Omens and a Wee Free Men tv series. The Shepherd’s Crown gave us a worthy farewell to the Discworld… would I wish there’d still be more? Sure! Would I wish that STP’s half finished works hadn’t been destroyed (on purpose) by being driven over by a steamroller? Definitely, I’d love to know what those final works would’ve been even if they had never been finished. Would I like to see Rhianna Pratchett pick up her father’s reins and pick up where he left off? More than anything, but I can well understand her reluctance to do so. So, as goodbyes to Discworld go, The Shepherd’s Crown was great.
