But I don't like his take on dogs. There are no Bad Dogs.

2020: Puta qué buen libro ;A;
Hice una relectura de este libro porque estaba en una lectura conjunta en el server de cosmere latam y la semana pasada el server murió, entonces terminé leyendo sola pero bueh, siempre he tenido muy poca gente con quien comentar los libros de Terry, así que no mucho cambió uwu

2019:Terminé el libro, miré hacía la nada por un rato. Me reí y dije: TIENE MUCHA RAZÓN

AGOSTO: Un best seller del año de tu nacimiento

Men At Arms is the second in the City Watch sub-series of Discworld and picks up with the impending marriage of Samuel Vimes, currently Captain of the Night Watch but unlikely to remain so since he's marrying into one of the oldest families in Ank-Morporkian high society. Instead of policing the streets, Vimes will be shifting to charity boards, balls and whatever else the rich do to entertain themselves. Which means the Night Watch will need to find a new Captain and due to some political maneuvering, the Watch membership will be adding a troll, a dwarf and a werewolf. With the departure of Vimes, the training of the new recruits and dead bodies showing up around the city, the Night Watch is about to need all the help it can get.

(Discworld, #8; City Watch #1)|Terry Pratchett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431127356l/64216._SY75_.jpg|1128601] will forever be my favorite City Watch (and my favorite Discworld) book because it was my entry to Terry Pratchett and I love it more than just about any other book in my memory. However, I'd say Men At Arms is stronger in characterization and plot as it expands the core characters of the City Watch and has plenty to say on racism, inequality and the role of rulers in a city. The relationships that develop throughout the story increased my love for characters like Carrot, Vimes, Angua and Detritus and of course the constant puns and wordplay had me in my Discworld happy place.

The City Watch books hold a special place in my heart and it's so fun to revisit the early books in the series, see the growth of the characters from Guards Guards and finally getting to the core complement that I know and love. If you enjoyed Guards Guards, buckle in for some wonderful characters and social commentary but still don't expect any chapters.
