These mythopoeic times

Just finished reading the second book in the series of The Portable Door > In Your Dreams > Earth, Air, Fire and Custard > You Don’t have to Be Evil to Work Here, But It Helps. They don't really have to be read in order, which is good. The book starts off slow, but builds up well.

People are sometimes easily overlooked. The holes they leave behind when they aren't there any more are far harder to miss.

Such home truths are interspersed in the narrative, which follows the war between the Fey and the rest of humanity [loosely speaking, since it includes goblins, dwarves, and other friendly anomalies]. Our feckless protagonist stumbles through his life, slaying dragons [I sat on it!!] , rescuing damsels, and generally being a hero.

The book also attempts to answers some burning questions [as posted by Steve S on the Amazon review]--

"1. Can you take it with you? Yes, merely setup an account at the Bank of the Dead and deposit, making sure you burn cash and deposit slips thoroughly.
2. Is your company car really the bosses sister? Yes.
3. Does life ever produce happy endings? Nah."

Since our library ran out of Terry Pratchett, I'm not complaining.
