"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.

pickAn 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.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

“But the grannies, oh, the grannies... It had almost been cheating, putting them on the parapet with a megaphone during the lulls: ‘I knows you're out there, our Ron! This is your Nan!

Now stop being a silly boy!‘”

Another easy pick for the week. What a powerful book - it's in my top two of favorite Pratchetts. The complicated plot is gorgeously arranged and paced, and it had me in tears by the end for several reasons.
*Not* a good entry point to the Watch or Discworld series, because there's so much character growth and unexpected background.
