The Scone of Stone has been stolen, and a manufacturer of rubber materials murdered. Vimes is sent to Uberwald on a matter of diplomacy, trying to stop a war from beginning. He ends up in some woods running for his life from wolves. Meanwhile, Carrot has left the Watch in the not-so-capable hands of Colon, in search of Angua. What on earth is happening to the Watch?


I really like the story between Carrot and Angua. They seem such an unlikely pair, and I can't help but fear it just isn't going to work out for them. I don't know why, I guess that's just my gut feeling. There's still a lot of mystery surrounding Angua.

And what's going on with Vimes in the Watch? Sometimes he's in, sometimes he's not. It's hard to believe quite how much the Watch has expanded since the early Discworld novels. Need to remember that just because Vimes isn't there, it's not going to fall apart. Although if it's left to Colon again, who knows what will happen!?


Get reading the Discworld series. It's good for you, promise.
