OOowwee, this one is GOOD. I finally understand why so many people say the City Watch books are their favourite. This might be the best yet (though I feel like I say that about pretty much every single one…).
It has a full-on murder mystery plot, as well as the range to have me almost crying with tears in so many places (including the pure GOLDEN majesty of the Watch oath taking and the Fool’s Guild stuff) but also shedding fully sorrowful tears at the end. And what an insanely gripping ending!
It also did a MUCH better job with its race/ethnicity conversations than Witches Abroad did, which was great to see.
What an absolute banger.
