Un libro muy divertido, totalmente sarcástico, el autor se ríe de todo. Es una muy buena lectura veraniega.

THIS WAS SO GREAT.
A take on fantasy and noir all at once, this may be Pratchett's best yet in terms of both character and plot- I've found over the first 8 books that he has tended toward very good characters or very good plot, but not often both simultaneously (Wyrd Sisters being the notable exception, although I'd say this plot is slightly stronger than that one). Here, I am drawn in by both- I loved Vimes, Carrot, Lady Ramkin, Nobby, Colon- even Cut Me Own Throat Dibbler! And the plot- dragons and kings and biting commentary on civic responsibility and groupthink? Oh my it was engaging!! Here we also had a better character *arc* in Captain Vimes than we've seen in anyone before, in my opinion.
Plus, of course, a hefty does of The Librarian helps everything. Ook!

This is my first experience with one of the major Pratchett novels, and I had a great time. There was always humor, unexpected plot twists, and within that an understanding of some of the pettier and also brighter facts of human nature.
