Neighbours... hah. People'd live for ages side by side, nodding at one another amicably on their way to work, and then some trivial thing would happen and someone would be having a garden fork removed from their ear.'

When the neighbours in question are the proud empires of Klatch and Ankh-Morpork, those are going to be some pretty large garden tools indeed. Of course, no-one would dream of starting a war without a perfectly good reason...such as a 'strategic' piece of old rock in the middle of nowhere.

It is after all every citizen's right to bear arms to defend their own. Even if it isn't technically their own. And even if they don't have much in the way of actual weaponry. As two armies march, Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch faces unpleasant foes who are out to get him... and that's just the people on his side. The …

what a weird time

Edukiari buruzko abisua discussion of Vetinari and Vimes' efforts as relates to the book's conclusion

what a weird time that must have been for Vetinari. i'm not sure i'm 100% on board with this one, which is unusual for me, coz normally i like watch books a lot, but i think the fact that even Vimes wasn't really able to solve anything, and that it took an incredibly smart and savvy politician to end things, and even that really didn't prevent the war, is just a little too realistic for me. we don't have a Vetinari irl, we don't even have a Vimes, so i think Jingo just reminded me of how much society sucks rn? but the whole thing with Colon and Nobby and Vetinari was absolutely hilarious, and even 71 Hour Ahmed grew on me, so all in all, a solid Watch book.
