A review by luxton
Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett

adventurous funny mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

I enjoyed this book much more than the first book in the series, "Guards! Guards!". The quality of writing didn't change much, but Terry Pratchett's humour finally felt like it clicked with me and the characters were more fleshed out due to the benefit of it being the second in a series. 

I wish the ending
had provided more details explaining the solution to the mystery, it was technically fully resolved but not in a way that felt entirely satisfying
