Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

This is where the dragons went. They lie... not dead, not asleep, but... dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there's a key... GUARDS! GUARDS! is the 8th Discworld novel - and after this, dragons will never be the same again!

Copy paste from my review of Pyramids:

“Same as my opinion of Equal Rites. Terry Pratchett tries to be funny at every sentence he writes. He is witty, but this is far from tingling my sense of humor. I wonder when his books start to get good?”

Probably the first book since The Colour of Magic to really fire on all cylinders.

This book really got me in a reading slump. Perhaps because it's lighthearted it feels like there are no stakes. And so the story is very slow because I am not really at the edge of my seat in any way. It was very well and funny written. But comparing it to the first Discworld novel this was just too low or too slow.

I did like the story tho some of the characters seemed extremely similar and I found it hard to keep them apart. Both Nobby and Colon are just so the same. The big conflict being resolved by some dragons going off to fuck tho is some solid comedy. I again had some problems with some descriptions but I acknowledge that this book is about 30 years old.
