A review by tregina
Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett

3.0

A always wonder just how much baggage I'm bringing to these books, reading them so long after I first heard of them, long after I got to know most of the main characters, because reading a book for the first time having already formed such solid opinions is a very different experience from coming at it fresh. Not only that, but I come into it with expectations. In the case of the first Watch book, I think that worked in its favour; in the case of this one, it might have worked against it. Which isn't to say that it's not a good book that had moments of genius, because it's Pratchett, but I didn't love it like I wanted to.
