khooliha I know this is a very popular Discworld book, but I found on this reread that it doesn't work for me that much. I can't help but pair this book mentally with Interesting Times and its view on revolution. It casts a pall over the book for me. Still, I like Vimes dad'ing all over time and I love young Vetinari and his aunt. 4y

khooliha I miss everyone else, though, and didn't feel that engaged with most of the old watchmen. On the flipside, baby Nobby is -heartbreaking-. 4y

GingerAntics @khooliha I really struggled with that. It just didn‘t feel like the rest of the series that I‘ve read. The regular, witty banter wasn‘t there. Young Vetinari was fun, though. I did like getting to see more of his back story. 4y

DrexEdit I did enjoy this entry in Discworld. I liked learning a bit more back story on the Watch and Vetinari. Did we know that he was in the assassin's guild? I don't recall that that was stated with any certainty before, although I think it's been hinted at. This is only my first time through so I don't have all the details fixed yet! I agree the tone was more serious here but I didn't mind it and I have a soft spot for Sam Vimes, I guess. :-) 4y

julesG @khooliha @GingerAntics @DrexEdit I agree, this was good, but not as good as some of the others. I think Vetinari having been in assassin's guild was hinted on. 4y

GingerAntics @julesG yeah, I don‘t think it was a surprise to anyone who has read any of the previous Discworld books with Vetinari in them that he ended up with a shady past. I think that has been made abundantly clear. I have always wondered about his shady past, so in that sense this book was really good. I just feel like at the end, it was almost like “and now back to our regularly scheduled programming.” 4y

julesG @GingerAntics You've got a point there. It felt like a special/holiday episode. 4y

And with this the main series is concluded... I'm sad and happy at the same time. Happily, there are still some other books set in the same universe. Of course, I want to read those as well. But it's still hsrd to say goodbye to Anton after all these years...

Book Number 10 off my #BookSpinBingo list

How come that this series is getting better and better with every book? And that I keep thinking 'That's my favourite!' until I read the follow-up?

I'm somewhat sad that I've only got one main novel left...

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks I love it when a series does that!!! 4y

Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks I do, too. I guess it's hard for an author to do that, and therefore sure is a sign of the talent of the writer. 4y

I'd say this is my favourite book in the series so far. More and more the story develops and I enjoyed, how things that happened in earlier books suddenly become important.

Also, the humour in this is great 😁

Why does it always take me that long to continue this series? Really, I've enjoyed all three books so far. There's just something special about the characters and the setting. It draws you in and won't let go. To me, those books are very intense.

After going home from work sick, I took a detour and picked this book up from the hold shelf at the library. I never realised another book was released! I love this series. Its so fun and fantastical. I just dont want it to end 😟
