Osmosisch posted:Things I strongly dislike about it: I noticed this a fair bit in the later books, where the narrative would grind to a halt so a character could give a long monologue about how they were right and everyone else was going to shut up and listen to them because they’re at the end of their patience. I remember Snuff being especially bad about it — you could maybe get away with that from someone like Vimes or Granny who has, in some sense, earned our trust, but not from a pissant like Feeney who’s appearing on the page for the first time and hadn’t exactly given the best account of themselves when they were here.

Reading spending character sets is better for rereads imo

What are some of the most egregious examples of a non watch book set in Anhk Moorpork that eventually became a Watch Book? Heard that’s the reason why Pratchett created Moist Von Lippig.

The Truth butted up pretty hard with the Watch I saw new covers for Discworld books at my job yesterday and I can’t say I care for them

The Truth feels anti-Watch in the same way the Moist books are, because the Watch are pretty much antagonists in them. While it's not set in Ankh Morpork, I think Monstrous Regiment most strongly ends up being a Watch book, given how many of them show up in the end as Good Guys/secret saviors throughout the entire story.

Those covers are very generic.

I mean it's those covers or the originals but weirdly zoomed in and blurry, unfortunately. Also some "collectors edition" hardcovers or something that are also generic but hand drawn?

Any day now they should be releasing the matching edition of Dodger.
