seraphjewel 's review for:
Guards! Guards!
by Terry Pratchett
It's been a while since I've ventured into Discworld but it's always a delight to go back. The characters are so fleshed out and distinct, the humor is so good while also providing on-point social commentary, and the sheer imagination that goes into the world-building is staggering.
I think what I enjoyed about this one in particular was how accidental a lot of the heroics ended up being (which I think is the whole point) and how the Watch only wanted some small compensations for their work. I know I read another book on the Watch but it's been so long I don't remember any of it, which I think is for the best so I can go into this one fresh.
What else is there to say? It's smart, it's funny, it holds up a wonderful mirror of the world while living in this medieval fantasy realm, it has well-defined characters and engaging action. It's Discworld!
