Classic Terry Pratchett - clever, funny, well-paced. I didn’t love the dragon theme and wished we’d have heard more from the monk cult.
The characters though! Captain Vimes is what I always want from a “worn-out cop who’s been doing this for too damn long but suddenly has a reason to care about the job again” story; those characters never seem written well but Pratchett makes him relatable, flawed, and loveable. And Lady Ramkin was a kick-ass woman, powerful and knowledgeable and didn’t take shit from anybody…loved her.
