>>>>>The deep-down dwarfs seemed different from the ones in T5E—there, they all seemed to act as grags.<<<<<
Well, sure. Int he Uberwald and the mountains, such distinctions are crucial, but to a city dwarf, any deep dwarf is a higher (lower?) class of being. It's no surprise the deep dwarves are capitalising on this.
>>>>>In T5E, they seemed to have found a very comfortable "nitch" in Traffic. And I should think that Nobby would be the last person one should want training coppers...<<<<<
Well, Fred's getting really old. Remember that he's a few years older than Vimes, and Vimes is in his what, fifties now? As for Nobby, are you going to separate the two?
>>>>>The Summoning Dark reminds me of a sort of parasitic small god.<<<<<
I SO missed that! Good catch!
>>>>>it ended up being his anchor to who he was against the Summoning Dark, kind of like an internal version of the cigar case in NW.<<<<<
And that as well! Shame on me!
>>>>>I liked Detritus looking after Brick<<<<<
It's so him, isn't it?
It's not my favourite Discworld book (Going Postal is, I'd have to say, with The Truth running a close second), but it's close. Great review!
