Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett
4.0

3.5 stars.

For fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this book is British satire of a similar sort, a parody of fantasy tropes. It follows the guards of the Watch of Ankh-Morpork, a motley and shabby crew who are viewed as a joke in a city of very organized crime. But when a dragon mysteriously appears and starts terrorizing the populace, the men of the city watch find themselves somewhat accidentally stepping up to the plate.
