Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
5.0
Night Watch continues the saga of Sir Samual Vimes, keeper of the law, hard old street monster and soon to be father. As always, Pratchett gives his readership a masterwork of fantasy literature, inviting people into his comical but oh-so-familiar Discworld. Set in our favourite metropolis of Ank-Morpork, this novel takes a step back and explores the origins of one of our favourite cast members.
Perhaps the most entrancing thing about this novel is the way that it explores the human soul; the formation of our character, our memories, the little ticks that make us who we are. All whilst still speeding the reader through an intricate plot headed towards a fantastic ending for Sam.
Even amongst the plethora of brilliant narratives that Pratchett has given the world, this one shines out as particularly innovative and enjoyable. If you read no other Discworld story about Sam Vimes, read this one.
