TierMaker Discworld Community Tier List
Apologies for not being able to upload an image at the moment.
Obviously TierMaker isn’t the be all end all of community opinion, but I stumbled upon this tier list recently and found it strange. I have a handful of friends who have read some of the books, and they were surprised by some of the tierings too. Some trends I noticed:
- “Entry” books seem to be tiered high, and books occuring later in the Discworld timeline get tiered lower
- Tiffany Aching books are tiered very low
- I believe the earlier books are generally getting tiered higher than the later books, but I haven’t actually verified that.
I guess my biggest question is is the opinions of the community actually so diverse? Maybe many folks haven’t read all the books so it gets skewed like that? The site says it compiles 32 tier lists which sounds like a decent amount of data to me.
Just wanted to comment, cause this community is a bit quiet. But man, I really hate tier lists. Just enjoy what you enjoy.
Like, Unseen Academicals and The Last Hero are some of my favourites.
I haven’t read the Tiffany Aching books. Just cause I don’t read much YA stuff. Maybe one day… In many discworld groups people really seem to enjoy them. And I’ve heard they are great for younger readers too.
That’s fair. I honestly thought to post just to give the community a little more action.
I read the Tiffany Aching books last year and really liked them, for what it’s worth. The only reason I could find for why they’re labeled YA is because they don’t split off into several different plots like Discworld books tend to do, so they’re much easier to read.
One day I will get to them :) (and probably wished I did so sooner)
