Exactly right about Pratchett. Without that depth the books could come across as silly but just when you're riding along on the chaos of the story some big truth subtly hits you.
I liked the setting of The Folk Keeper. That was probably what I liked best about the book, in the same way I liked the almost-England setting of Keturah and Lord Death. The creepiness was done well, too. But, like Emma, when I put it down I had a hard time picking it back up.
