3.0

Another Pratchett book, another mess ensues. This follows a group of city guards who must deal with a war after two countries start fighting over a mysterious island which has risen out of the sea. This book has Pratchett's signature quirky humor, but for me the overall plot wasn't very engaging. I get the main point that war is just completely absurd and pointless, and there are a lot of fun scenes, but the overall narrative never captured me. Still an enjoyable read, but not my favorite in the Discworld series.
