I'm glad I'm not the only one to think of it! I thought in some ways it's a really cool idea - here's Charmed Life, and then The Lives of Christopher Chant works to tell you that what you might have assumed about Millie isn't true at all. But then she never does anything else with the idea in the books that follow.
Discworld also bothers me for exactly the same reason - there are so few people in it who are non-white, characters with a chunk of story and aren't meant as a joke!
Thank you for the rec! I am finding the books difficult to get hold of, but they're appearing bit by bit.
