I liked the bit of mystery in this one, as well as following Agnes Nitt. It's also only the second time we've met an Igor, but the Igor that works at Biers in Ankh-Morpork doesn't have the stereotypical speech impediment of those fresh from Uberwald. Also the concept of "what comes around goes around" is introduced which I think is pretty amazing way of making Igors a kind of karmic force.
And the cool part is that we get to immediately return to Uberwald in the next book The Fifth Elephant.
