Everybody wants more time, which is why on Discworld only the experts can manage it—the venerable Monks of History, who store it and pump it from where it's wasted, like underwater (how much time does a codfish really need?), to places like cities, where busy denizens lament, "Oh where does the time go?"
While everyone always talks about slowing down, one young horologist is about to do the unthinkable. He's going to stop. Well, stop time that is, by building the world's first truly accurate clock. Which means esteemed History Monk Lu-Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd have to put on some speed to stop the timepiece before it starts. For if the Perfect Clock starts ticking, Time—as we know it—will end. And then the trouble will really begin . . .
I loved this book, it's amazing to see Susan as an adult. A ton of stuff going on, including an exploration of totalitarian societies and, as usual, human nature.
if there were rules, then they applied to everyone, even her. Otherwise they were merely tyranny.
Después de varios libros que me gustaron especialmente porque Pratchett puso especial énfasis en llevar al Mundodisco problemas claramente basados en nuestro Mundobola ahora tocaba una entrega más fantástica. No voy a decir que sea malo ni mucho menos (dudo que haya nada escrito por El hombre del sombrero que no me guste), pero sí es cierto que lo he disfrutado un poquito menos que los anteriores. Aún así tiene personajes memorables como los Auditores, El Quinto Jinete y, sobre todo, una Susan que va cogiendo cada vez más relevancia.
