This is the second discworld book I've ever read and it has confirmed to me that I need to read many more. This is the first book in the City Watch series and it introduces you to a range of scruffy but loveable characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter in this book, it takes a lot for me to laugh while reading but this book managed it many times! The writing is great and easy to follow, though I'm not sure on the choice to not have chapters. The story was engaging and kept me hooked throughout. There were some twists I should have seen coming a lot sooner but somehow they managed to evade me! I can't wait to read the next one.
