Vimes continues to shine as a lead in this tale of ancient vendettas and grudges.

Reread as part of a complete reread started in September 2020.

Pratchett at his best, well worth a read, or re-read
I think what makes this, along with the other later watch books, so compelling is that they mark a shift in Pratchett's writing, away from his roots in parody and satire, to just straight up political commentary, though still wrapped up in comedy and fantasy
