BookmarkTavern Listening to these City Watch books right after each other is so fascinating! Seeing Vimes‘s growth, his strength in his family is so rewarding. But it also makes me wonder. Would a Nightwatch or a Guards! Guards! Vimes have had a similar defense against the Summoning Dark, or would he have fallen? (edited) 5d

julesG @BookmarkTavern I agree, it's fascinating seeing his growth. Not sure about how successful an early Vimes would have been. I hope he'd have had it in him back then already. (does that make sense? ) 5d

BookmarkTavern Yes! I think the foundations are there. And maybe he wouldn‘t have given in completely. But I think that his reliance on the Watch, like Carrot and Angua and Cherry, his relationship with Sybil and Sam, even his dealings with Vetinari are what gave his Guarding Dark the strength to shut out the Summoning completely. 5d

willaful @BookmarkTavern Very interesting point. He's tested a lot throughout the books -- staying sober, holding on to hope in Night Watch, and now this. He always comes out stronger and a little more able to connect to his people. 4d

julesG @willaful that!! Well put! 4d

Thud! | Terry Pratchett

"War, Nobby. Huh! What is it good for?" he said.
"Dunno, Sarge. Freeing slaves, maybe?"
"Absol—well, okay."
"Defending yourself against a totalitarian aggressor?"
"All right, I'll grant you that, but—“
"Saving civilization from a horde of—“
"It doesn't do any good in the long run is what I'm saying, Nobby, if you'd listen for five seconds together," said Fred Colon sharply.
"Yeah, but in the long run, what does, Sarge?"

An old feud is ramping up again when a dwarf is found murdered, & the trolls are accused. It‘s up to Vimes & the Watch to investigate & solve this crime before war breaks out.

The parallels between trolls/dwarfs & Sally/Angua play off so well against each other. This is also my favorite Vimes story as he battles his anger/darkness. & his dedication to 6 o‘clock hit much harder, as I had a tradition of reading to my nibling during COVID.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Where I find Discworld has lots of actual science. Many thanks to Terry Pratchett, Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart for their explanations.

#doublespin Moist von Lipwig is one of my favourite Discworld characters. This book is smart - really wry look at the world of finance.
