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) 4d
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? ) 4d

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. 4d
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. 3d
julesG @willaful that!! Well put! 2d

julesG I really enjoyed Vetinari in this one, this time around. And I don't really know why. 1mo
willaful Well that's new. I don't think Pratchett has ever made me cry before. (Except his biography.) 1mo

julesG @willaful It's happened to me too. This one and Shepherd's Crown 😭 1mo
willaful I can't remember if I read this one before, which makes me think I must not have, though it might not have made such a strong impression when I was younger. I think this is one of his best books.

I loved the symbolism of the case. Vimes is so resistant to the trappings that came with marriage to Sybil that it was good to see one he truly loved, that represents how much she cares for him, and becomes a lifeline.
1mo
willaful And I loved his recognition and acceptance of the fact that it's time to let himself be more than a copper. He has to be a husband and father too. 1mo
BookmarkTavern @willaful I loved that too! His constant little reminders of what he was missing. Sybil and Sam is my favorite romantic couples Pratchett wrote. 1mo

willaful I enjoyed seeing more about the relationships here, which had previously seemed a little one-sided. 2mo

julesG @willaful I agree. It was more balanced 2mo
willaful I'm curious about what the revisions were. I'm not sure if the edition I read was revised or not 2mo
julesG @willaful Erm?! ??? I only picked the "revised edition" entry from the database. But now I need to find out too. 2mo
BarbaraJean @willaful Yes! I really liked getting to know Sybil (and her past) better, and Angua's family was... illuminating (yikes). That scene where Sybil breaks into song is 💯 2mo
kwmg40 I enjoyed this one, mainly because of the characters that had larger roles in this book -- Angua, Sybil and the wonderful Gaspode! 2mo
