I’ve read only one other Pratchett novel before and that was Good Omens which is co-authored by one of my all time favorite authors, Neil Gaiman. And I adored that book, so much. I put off diving into Discworld because despite the fact that I am absolutely in love with the fantasy genre, I didn’t know if I had it in me to get into a 41 book series, but I decided to dive in with Guards! Guards! And I am so glad I did. Everything about the writing in this book is phenomenal. The prose, the narrative, the footnotes, just perfect. The lack of chapter structure was a bit jarring, but I adjusted to that as well.
I found this book to be charming and funny but also incredible thoughtful and thought-provoking too. It was a great and pleasant read.

a great read
You ever read a book and halfway through you say “this author has got to be British. Hold up let me look it up”? Very funny and also fun to read but with a big, if cynical, heart. The writing was shockingly similar to Hitchhiker’s Guide and I’m glad to have finally dipped my toe into into Discworld. My favorite character was the Patrician. What a weird and off-putting dude!
