In Discworld, time is a resource managed by the highly capable Monks of History. Everybody wants more time, which is why on Discworld only the experts can manage it. 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.

Review of 'Thief of Time' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Death books are probably my favourite, but this book is perfect! Monks that control time and people that waste it. Auditors that keep missing the magic of life and the wonderful magic that is to be alive. When time, life and chocolates collide - this one cannot be missed.
