This entry in the Watch series satirizes war and is notable for its development of Sam Vimes, one of Discworld's best characters. I also enjoyed the presence of the Dis-organizer, the annoying personal organizer powered by an imp.

“Are you going out, Sam?“

“Yes, I'm just going to kick some arse, dear.“

“Oh, *good.* Just be sure you wrap up well, then.“

Ruthiella I love Sam and Sybil‘s relationship. ❤️ 2w

He looked at the face in the mirror. Unfortunately, it was his.

kwmg40 This story felt pretty dark for a Discworld novel, even if it did contain some very funny scenes. Two aspects that I liked very much: the continuing character development of Vimes and the hilarious and intriguing Dis-organiser. 2w

julesG @kwmg40 The Dis-Organiser was hilarious indeed. 2w

julesG Yes, the novel was darker than what we've seen so far, but it can't all be sunshine and rainbows. Not even on Discworld. I think Pratchett used the Watch novels deliberately to show the darker side of life. 2w

willaful I think this was one of his more ambitious books and it's not entirely successful. But it's full of fantastic gut-punch scenes, as well as laughs. 2w

julesG @willaful There's a lot packed into the story. This time round I noticed a lot of small things connected to history (wars, border disputes, fishing rights squabbles,...) that I didn't notice upon my first read or didn't know about back then, which make more sense to me and made the novel feel less 'unsuccessfully ambitious'. 2w

Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He'd been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a postgraduate student at the University of What Some Bloke in the Pub Told Me.

julesG 🤣🤣🤣 One of my favourite quotes from the book. 🦧 2w

BookmarkTavern I know way too many people like that! 😂😂😂 2w

willaful @BookmarkTavern Those schools certainly never lacked enrollment! 2w

“He ought to stay here, and do the best he could.

But . . . history was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

“Colon looked awkward, as if the bunched underwear of the past was tangling itself in the crotch of recollection.”
