Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett
5.0
adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

It's been a tough week for me, and so when time are tough, I reach for my comfort reads, the first of which will always be Terry Pratchett. The Watch is probably my favourite series, and Men at Arms is one for me the best of the best. Mixing murder mystery and fantasy, with sharp observation on the nature of humanity, there are moments that make me laugh out loud, and moments that make me sad that there aren't more Vimes in the world. Sir Terry is sorely missed, but I'm grateful we have his words to fall back on.
