![]() There's some absolutely atrocious writing in the first few chapters - Terrance Dicks-on-autopilot level simple sentences and "as you know, your father, the king" dialogue, with no hint of characterisation (not helped by some shoddy copyediting). But some of it has clearly been worked on rather more than other bits. There is, as Wilkins says, a beginning, middle, and end. ![]() We have something that can be read, coherently, from beginning to end as a narrative, but is not quite formed. ![]() Here we have something that isn't quite the end process of that. Pratchett's working methods, as described by Wilkins, involved writing scenes and piecing them together, finding the story, and then rewriting and adding scenes. As Rob Wilkins explains in the afterword, Terry Pratchett hadn't actually finished writing this when he died. ![]()
