GUARDS! GUARDS! is the 8th Discworld novel – and after this, dragons will never be the same again!
Readers adore Guards! Guards!
‘You will enjoy it if you already enjoy fantasy; you will very likely enjoy it even if you don’t generally enjoy fantasy, because the humour, characterisation, and dialogue are ridiculously good‘ Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
‘This is one of my favorite Discworld books and one of the best starting points for the Discworld newbies . . . It is a perfect introduction to the world of intelligent humour peppered with allusions to almost everything you can think of and smart conclusions that make you think and even ask the uncomfortable questions of yourself and the society‘ Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
