Twelfth(?) discworld book I’ve read. So far, the night watch novels are Terry Pratchett at his finest. Deliciously angry, perhaps the most rage-filled of Pratchett’s books I have read, and so completely justified. There is great evil in this world, and Captain Carrot is here to face it and find the best of the world, along with poor (but incredible) bastard Vimes who never fails to see the worst of it. Witty as all Pratchett is, but this time Pratchett’s wit feels even more laser-focused on injustice and what it means to be human. Already looking forward to rereading it.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Alcoholism and Murder

Standard fantasy discworld racism against dwarves, undead, werewolves, etc etc. But it’s all relevant. Probably also some religious bigotry as there often is. Explores societally nonconforming gender expression and I suppose some of the characters are a bit rude about it.
