Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

5.0

I have been meaning to get into Discworld for a while, and aside from Good Omens I have yet to read a Terry Pratchett book. My expectations were surpassed. I was not aware of the people could write like this: such a different approach to wit and drama but it still builds a story that has stakes and plot twists. It would seem self indulgent or cheap if the entire book wasn't written in the same vein. As it is, Pratchett has a unique and capable grasp on his own style that makes the elegant, impassive face of the High Fantasy Elf that keeps this genre the back of our brains let out a snort, provide a quiet "why not?" and keep turning the pages. I hope to read more soon, and recommend Guards Guards to anyone who is considering Pratchett.
