Feet of Clay | Terry Pratchett

pick

The Watch is baffled by a pair of mysterious murders & the poisoning of the Patrician. It will take all of them working together along w/ a new hire to solve everything.

This is 1 of my favorites. The two separate mysteries are fascinating, I love all the characters (Angua my beloved), Dorfl & the golems & the power of choosing, & Vimes always satisfies my deeply buried vengeful side @ the end. I forgot how much that last scene hits me.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

“Life has certainly been more reliable under Vetinari,“ said Mr. Potts of the Bakers Guild.

“He does have all the street-theater players and mime artists thrown into the scorpion pit,“ said Mr. Boggis of the Thieves' Guild.

“True. But let's not forget that he has his bad points, too.“

Ruthiella I love Pratchett! ❤️😂 7d

Faranae I love this scene even though I actually do like street theater and mimes (my French ancestry might be showing lol) 6d

willaful @Faranae Oh me too! So fun going to big cities and enjoying the buskers. 6d

kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one. I'd read this a few years ago, but appreciate it more after reading the preceding Watch books in order. I especially liked the developing relationship between Angua and Carrot, and Carrot's fascination with the Dwarf Bread Museum. 6d

julesG @kwmg40 I'd really like to visit the Dwarf Bread Museum 6d

BarbaraJean It was interesting to read this after having read the Moist books—it's one of the first times I felt like I was reading things out of order. But I kind of like having the later books already in my head as a glimpse at the future of the golems! I loved how Pratchett uses golems to consider who counts as a person, setting that against other prejudices. @kwmg40 I love their relationship & am glad there are more books in which it can develop further! 6d

willaful I thought at first this was a little too similar to previous Watch books, but by the end I loved it. So genuinely poignant, and with so much heart and grace. Pratchett at his most humane. 5d

BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 I also really loved seeing Carrot and Angua‘s relationship, especially getting to see it from Angua‘s point of view. 3d

It was Angua's mind that prowled the night, not a werewolf mind. She was almost entirely sure of that. A werewolf wouldn't stop at chickens, not by a long way.

She shuddered.

Who was she kidding? It was easy to be a vegetarian by day. It was preventing yourself becoming a humanitarian at night that took the real effort.

Have finished the main body of the Library Card Vest. Now I'm stuck with the ribbing, which takes ages.

Doppoetry

Thud! | Terry Pratchett

so-so

This book started off really strong and then gradually fell off. It started with the needless trope of woman 1 feeling insecure because woman 2 is prettier, crap that you see in older works. I was waiting for that trope to be subverted, but it was plain boring and unoriginal through and through. There were needles gendered remarks sprinkled throughout that I also didn't care for. Angua also became a mouthpiece for some xenophobic opinions--

Doppoetry -which was designated for the male characters. It wasn't exactly pleasant to read.

There was some good dwarven lore, and I was interested in that, but it didn't focus too deeply on it. The way Sybil goes from being written as a strong and independent woman to a damsel in distress in these bothers me a lot. She also suffers from the forced gender roles in these books. She is written far better in the first watch book than the following ones imo. 3w

Doppoetry There's a lot of inconsistency here, but the book also suffers from “show, don't tell.“ We're also told, countless times, how Vimes is incorruptible, but he's never really shown in scenarios where he could be and chooses not to. Yes, there are moments where he has inner turmoil between kicking ass and following the law, but it's not pushed to a certain extreme where he has to make a tough choice between “Corruption“ and “Duty“ 3w

Doppoetry -Any time it is hinted at happening, his squad shows up to prevent whatever mayhem is happening, or ambushes the bad guys, etc. He never (temporarily) stands on his own and makes a tough choice. It smells of plot armor. 3w

Doppoetry I was debating whether to mention the weird digs on the sex worker, but I think it's important to mention. I get Nobby is just a huge joke, but it was nice seeing him be nice to this sex worker and wanting a relationship with her, but then the female cast talks her out of it, and then Nobby also decides to end the relationship, and I have to wonder what the point of that was? Of course we have to also make her dumb as a sack of rocks because-- 3w

Doppoetry -- “smart“ women don't date stupid, ugly men or do sex work. 🙄 It's somehow okay to keep mentioning how men objectify her and comment on her body multiple times, and she's too stupid to say anything. Get real. 3w
