Another very enjoyable Discworld book. I wasn't sure it'd be a favorite as it kinda starts slow, but the prospect of traveling to Uberwald as Vimes (reluctantly) takes on his diplomatic responsibilitkes had me super excited. I quickly became enthralled in all the shenanigans to follow and the exploration of Uberwald and it's quirks, especially all the Igor's. This was also the most political entry in the series so far which was a delight. Overall less emphasis on evoking laughter, but still humourous and fun. My only major complaint is not enough Inigo Skimmer because he's so great.
