"Somewhere in the Circle Sea between Ankh-Morpork and Al-Khali, the Lost Kingdom of Leshp has emerged after hundreds of years beneath the waves. And so with no ships, no army and no money, Ankh-Morpork goes to war against the Klatchian army claiming the rock as their own." "Undaunted by the prospect of being tortured to death by vastly superior numbers of enemy troops, a small band of intrepid men and a very thick troll set out under the command of Sir Samuel Vimes of the City Watch." "If they can survive long enough, maybe they can arrest an entire army for breach of the peace." --Book Jacket.

what a weird time

4 stars

Content warning 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.
