Welcome to Litsy!

An old feud is ramping up again when a dwarf is found murdered, & the trolls are accused. It‘s up to Vimes & the Watch to investigate & solve this crime before war breaks out.

The parallels between trolls/dwarfs & Sally/Angua play off so well against each other. This is also my favorite Vimes story as he battles his anger/darkness. & his dedication to 6 o‘clock hit much harder, as I had a tradition of reading to my nibling during COVID.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Where I find Discworld has lots of actual science. Many thanks to Terry Pratchett, Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart for their explanations.

#doublespin Moist von Lipwig is one of my favourite Discworld characters. This book is smart - really wry look at the world of finance.

Worryingly, there's no note from the Thieves Guild in the box. 🤔🦧 Maybe they remembered that I got two notes in one package last time I ordered.

“But the grannies, oh, the grannies... It had almost been cheating, putting them on the parapet with a megaphone during the lulls: ‘I knows you're out there, our Ron! This is your Nan! You climb up one more time and you'll feel the back of my hand! Our Rita sends her love and wants you to hurry home. Grandpa is feeling a lot better with the new ointment! Now stop being a silly boy!‘”

“One thing Vimes was learning fast was the natural vindictiveness of old ladies, who had no sense of fair play when it came to fighting soldiers; give a granny a spear and a hole to jab it through, and young men on the other side were in big trouble.”
