Now, would I recommend this book? Hell no! I know a few people who really were engrossed by the world-building and who really enjoy the whole series of books, but to me, with hindsight, even the first book had some of the issues of this book.

If you really like world-building this book might be a pretty enjoyable and rompy read, but don’t expect a good story. I think you can read it for the vignettes of worlds, but the book is absolutely bereft of growth. For the most part, it’s characters in vague search of a plot and the titular long war that never comes.

It's a bit of a letdown to realize how little of Pratchett is actually present in this book. Don't misunderstand, I enjoy Baxter as a writer, but this story felt like a meager meal after the richness of the first novel.
