I actually liked
Raising Steam quite a bit, have read it twice already. It's a fair bit different than many of the earlier books, but was still quite excellent.
I was really sad to hear he'd died, his humor has really helped cheer me up in a lot of the dark points of my life lately, even though I only got into Discworld seriously about 10-12 years ago. I've read all the main novels multiple times, read two of the four
Science of Discworld books already (have the others, just haven't read them yet), and even read most of his other books (
Nation,
Dodger, and even all three books of his Nome trilogy. (Quite excellent read too!))
Just last year I reread all forty Discworld novels in chronological order. That was a real blast! I'm looking forward to the last Tiffany Aching novel he had completed before his death. He has said previously his daughter would write new Discworld novels after his death, part of me hopes that's true and that she does a good job.
Goodbye Terry, you're already missed.
