In the eighteenth part of Night Watch<\/i>, pieces are moved into place. Intrigued? Then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time for Mark to read Discworld<\/i>.<\/p>\n
This part felt like a necessary part of a chess game, and I can recognize that this is both brief and important. These characters need to be in certain spots before the end sequence (WHICH I MUST BE SO CLOSE TO), and this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153part\u00e2\u20ac\u009d isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the intended reading experience. My lovely split friends\u00e2\u20ac\u201dFarashaSilver and rukbat3\u00e2\u20ac\u201dhelped pick this out. So, take what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m saying with a grain of salt! I know that this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the most exciting batch of scenes, but LOOK WHAT CAME BEFORE IT.<\/p>\n
Still, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important! I loved that we were forced to think about the logistical ramification of the barricades and the war in Ankh-Morpork. It all happened so quickly that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not like news could have traveled to all the traders heading for the city. And what were they supposed to do, anyway? Many of them had products that needed<\/i> to be off-loaded, so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not like there were viable options other than taking it back or leaving it wherever they could.<\/p>\n
So, while Vimes is damn near close to an existential crisis while thinking about this, does the rest of the city move on, two? Is<\/i> there anyone else thinking about this? Not particularly, though this is not the world of Vetinari. And this made me appreciate just how much Vetinari is able to keep in his head. The machinery of Ankh-Morpork works so well when he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in charge, you know? Without him, chaos reigns. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m realizing now that this is yet another reason why Vimes\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work is so important. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got to set Ankh-Morpork on the path to Vetinari, too!<\/p>\n
No pressure, of course.<\/p>\n
Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a moment with this, though:<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hegglers? What the hell are hegglers?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Egg marketers, sir.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I TRULY HATE THIS, IT IS SO GOOD, I AM FURIOUS. I just\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 how do people think of these things? How did Pratchett do it OVER AND OVER AGAIN?<\/p>\n
Anyway, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to talk politics<\/i>. I found it hilarious that as soon as Major realized that this situation was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153political,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that meant he could escalate it to the lords of Ankh-Morpork. Y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all, I already thought this was going to be a mess, but I was unaware of just how<\/i> messy this was gonna be. I still haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t figured out how Madam Meserole and Vetinari will ultimately affect the outcome of all of this, but I can tell they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re vital to the story, you know? For example: the fact that there are so many people who aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t<\/i> friends of Winder in the party she is at feels like something she can exploit. Lord Snapcase is supposed<\/i> to come next, so is she going to leverage Winder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s enemies against him?<\/p>\n
And how the hell is Selachii going to try to stop the barricade? Was he originally a part of this, or is this a new<\/i> development? I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually tell! But I worry about every new variable; each of them presents a problem for Vimes, and it makes it harder for him to stick to the monks\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 plan or<\/i> to save people from dying.<\/p>\n
I am still quite nervous about where this is heading, y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all.<\/p>\n
