The somewhat dysfunctional Night Watch of Ankh Morpork are perfectly depicted in this iconic novel by the late, great Terry Pratchett.
A fun and witty piece of fantasy that is both satirical and affectionate of the weird world we live in. The members of the Watch are conveyed in a way that is like Police Academy meets Dungeons & Dragons in Pratchett’s masterful weaving of comedy and low stakes fantasy that mocks the ridiculous parts of the real world.
