If OP's friend isn't actually familiar with Pratchett's writing, then they're not really a reliable judge of whether or not these books are similar to Pratchett.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe, or maybe the friend has sampled a few chapters of Pratchett without finishing the book and has at least a small idea of what they're talking about.

Either way, there's absolutely no reason for OP to hear their friend say, "I really like these books! They're funny and like Pratchett!" and conclude, "Ah ha! If my friend likes these books and thinks they're similar to Pratchett, then obviously my friend dislikes Pratchett." That just straight-up doesn't compute.

As far as I can understand, OP's friend has been unable to get into Pratchett. This isn't a conclusion that OP is drawing from the fact that their friend likes these books; it's a fact about their friend that they already, separately know. I'm really confused by your interpretation of the secret tbh

Comment OP here—my friend told me she found Pratchett’s stuff a slog to get through. Having looked at reviews for Kill the Farm Boy since making this comment, I’m pretty sure my friend was going off reviews calling the books “Pratchett-esque,” “for fans of Terry Pratchett,” etc. And a lot of reviewers seem to use “like Terry Pratchett’s work” as a blanket term for “humorous fantasy” without understanding, well, what made Pratchett’s work work.
