devannm 's review for:
Men at Arms
by Terry Pratchett
Really enjoyed this one and I liked the addition of Angua as well [I'm such a sucker for a female werewolf]. I will say that I'm kind of rolling my eyes at Pratchett's obvious romance writing style of like 'well they're a man and a woman and they've had two scenes together so obviously they are A Couple now' which seems to happen in every single Discworld book as well as others like Good Omens. After reading more of both their works I feel confident saying the Miss Tracy/Shadwell romance was surely written by Pratchett and the Anathema/Newt one was surely written by Gaiman. But also ...female werewolf / loveable himbo IS a pretty excellent pairing just by concept alone and Carrot is so cluelessly supportive so like I'm not entirely mad at it.
Anyway, quote of the book for this one:
[Vimes] wasn’t exactly an atheist, because atheism was a non-survival trait on a world with several thousand gods. He just didn’t like any of them very much, and didn’t see what business it was of theirs that he was getting married.
We absolutely stan a dude who says 'I don't care that gods definitely exist, I think they're assholes either way'. Vimes continues to be more and more of a mood with each book.
