kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one. I'd read this a few years ago, but appreciate it more after reading the preceding Watch books in order. I especially liked the developing relationship between Angua and Carrot, and Carrot's fascination with the Dwarf Bread Museum. 3d

julesG @kwmg40 I'd really like to visit the Dwarf Bread Museum 3d

BarbaraJean It was interesting to read this after having read the Moist books—it's one of the first times I felt like I was reading things out of order. But I kind of like having the later books already in my head as a glimpse at the future of the golems! I loved how Pratchett uses golems to consider who counts as a person, setting that against other prejudices. @kwmg40 I love their relationship & am glad there are more books in which it can develop further! 2d

willaful I thought at first this was a little too similar to previous Watch books, but by the end I loved it. So genuinely poignant, and with so much heart and grace. Pratchett at his most humane. 2d

It was Angua's mind that prowled the night, not a werewolf mind. She was almost entirely sure of that. A werewolf wouldn't stop at chickens, not by a long way.

She shuddered.

Who was she kidding? It was easy to be a vegetarian by day. It was preventing yourself becoming a humanitarian at night that took the real effort.

I actually really enjoyed this one! The story felt a bit more concise and focused. The humor felt a bit more well-timed and full of witty one-liners that actually added to the story instead of being peppered in to accentuate the absurdist style. The moral and religious commentary was really enjoyable.

A marvelous reread. Despite this being the third time I've read the book, I still didn't recall the source of the poison until near the reveal, which definitely adds to the experience. This book in particular does a good job of balancing the amount we're focused on Vimes investigating versus Carrot pursuing his own leads, as well as giving room for Cheery/Cheri to develop both as an individual and 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? in her relationship to Angua, who herself is working some things out. We get a rare split of the double act that is Fred and Nobby, who continue to act like themselves even as they are 'dropped into' new experiences. 😉 The commentary facilitated by the golems' plight is sharp and emotionally appealing. Always happy to see a new member join the Watch. ☺️ The commentary touched on by Cheri's changes in wardrobe I believe are more fully 9mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 developed in the Fifth Elephant, which is my next stop in my reread of the City Watch collection in the Discworld books.

Even better the second time around. The gender feels! Vimes coming into focus as the Vimes I know and love in later books. It's actually easier to meditate on everything Pratchett is saying with the golem and the diversifying Watchmen staff when I'm not distracted trying to figure out how all the threads of the mystery are tied together - even though it was still fun watching them unravel. So happy I now own a (pretty!) copy for future rereads.

A fun Discworld story about the City Watch investigating murders thought to be committed by a golem. Pratchett's exposes how the wealthy and powerful treat minorities and outsiders in his usual hilarious way.

This was my 4th and final book finished for the #JubilantJuly readathon. Thanks to @Andrew65 for hosting!

Ah, what a story of a well-meant revolution going wrong because it is used for their purposes by dark forces. At least the Nightwatch ends up with a new recruit who is not to be played with.

Book 25 of the year

Not one of my favorite Discworld books. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, just over all kinda Meh. I do appreciate getting to know The Watch better (they are my favorite) and of course it's setting things up nicely for Adora Belle in the future. But just not one of my top picks.

Sadly true...and I think we are seeing more of that in real life lately as some politicians, athletes, etc get tested fast and regularly, but for the rest of us it would be...how‘d she word it “nonsensical” to test people. 🤯

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m ALMOST finished with this one, so I‘ll be back later today. So far I‘m really enjoying this one, sometimes the shifting character stories makes it easy for me to put a Discworld novel down for stretches at a time, but this one I‘m just flying through, all the side stories are so fun. 5y

Catherine_Willoughby Need to purchase this one 😔 5y

Soubhiville I loved hearing about how golems are made. I thought the mystery in here was a good one. As always I adore the Night Watch. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Soubhiville I really liked this one too, I think his stories are definitely getting better and better with every book. The wild side stories/tangents are even more connected to the main plot than on the earlier novels. I enjoyed the golem parts, loved seeing Wee Mad Arther‘s beginnings...he shows up way later in a novel I read. I love the Night‘s Watch too. 5y

khooliha It's weird: I really like this book, but now that the discussion post is here, nothing springs to mind to say. Something about this book leaves me off balance. No idea what. Maybe it's the gender stuff? It's not bad at all, but it's pretty surface to my nonbinary and 2020 self, and it sets me vibrating at a frequency this series won't ever reach for. It's a good book! I don't know why I'm so discombobulated! 5y

julesG @khooliha I'm with you, good book but some tiny thing rubbed me the wrong way. Can't say what exactly, either. You might be right with the gender. 5y

Okay, some spoiler thoughts:
1) No one ever asked Dorfl his pronouns, right? Or Cheery? Plus, very minorly, the pronoun usage with the bull pinged my Pronoun Sense
2) I know that Vimes/Vetinari is a ship in the fandom, and I thought about it a lot in their last scene, where I'm certain Vimes kept making Vetinari laugh, and Vetinari watches him go
3) the golem stuff is good

Well, I inhaled this one. Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about it - I have a number of half-formed thoughts that will hopefully coalesce before the discussion. I guess it feels more like a link in a chain than any of the previous books? It's good, I really loved revisiting it. I dunno, my brain is weird tonight.

It's weird that Vetinari's value is presented as maintaining stability, when in my memory he's involved in a lot of the changes in Ankh-Morpork's society. He's certainly not quashed the Watch, and he sets all of Moist's stuff off in the future. Maybe what he's -really- good at is maintaining the appearance of stability...
