willaful I enjoyed seeing more about the relationships here, which had previously seemed a little one-sided. 5d

julesG @willaful I agree. It was more balanced 5d
willaful I'm curious about what the revisions were. I'm not sure if the edition I read was revised or not 4d
julesG @willaful Erm?! ??? I only picked the "revised edition" entry from the database. But now I need to find out too. 4d
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 💯 22h

Pickpick

When Vimes is sent as diplomat to the coronation of the new Low King of the Dwarves, he isn‘t planning on investigating. But there‘s a stolen holy relic & an attempted assassination, so Vimes does what Vimes does best.

This was an intense one! The ripples of Cheery‘s life has spread, there‘s a lot more political intrigue, & Sybil really gets to shine! & a thoughtful condemnation of using tradition as a means of subjugation & control.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

“…he‘s been a copper longer than anyone in the Watch," said Nobby.
One of the dwarfs said something in Dwarfish. There were a few smiles from the shorter watchmen.
"What was that?" said Nobby.
"Well, roughly translated,” said Stronginthearm, ‘My bum has been a bum for a very long time but I don't have to listen to anything it says.‘”

The Shepherd's Crown | Terry Pratchett
post image

From today's Discworld Emporium's Newsletter:

THE SHEPHERD'S CROWN TURNED 10!
The final Discworld book is now a decade old. All these years later, the understandable reluctance to read it can be felt as strongly now as it did that dreadful year when Terry died, and the Shepherd's Crown was published. For many fans it has remained an unread treasure in order to hold back the end and keep the turtle moving.⬇️

#Discworld #OokBOokClub

julesG With that in mind, Rob Wilkins had a few words to mark the anniversary and encourage the bravery required to finish the final chapter . . .⬇️ 3w
julesG "It‘s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd‘s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door.⬇️ 3w
julesG But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you‘ve already enjoyed and including ⬇️ 3w

julesG The Shepherd‘s Crown.
So the greatest way to honour Terry‘s legacy is to pull that book you‘ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy."
