Sunya Song’s …

Excellent continuation of White Space series

5 stars

(Read this early as an ebook ARC from Goodreads giveaway.) An excellent continuation of the White Space series.

Excellent story and character development

5 stars

Excellent story all round. Vimes develops even more as a character and we get history of the Watch and the city. Along with a good exposition about how the many parts of a society work together despite the deprecations of self-interested fools. I needed that reminder amidst the chaos and deliberate pain of this Trump administration in the US.
