Samuel Vimes, to me, is the most fascinating character in the discworld series - to watch his growth from a disillusioned drunkard in Guards! Guards! up till the current book - fatherhood! I enjoyed it tremendously. I also enjoyed the idea of having the next generation - with young Sam and Tiffany Aching, and trying to imagine little half-werewolf-half-human-brought-up-as-half-dwarf babies... i truly want to get a peek into the future and see what lies in store for the discworld and ankh-morpork. At the same time, i'm not sure if i'm ready to see the end of my favourite characters quite yet - i'm thinking of the way raymond feist handled the jump into the future.

I did have some problems with this book, mainly in terms of pacing and plot devices - but on the whole it was what you'd expect from a typical watch book, with the fascinating addition of a vampire in the watch (!), a character i look forward to seeing in the future books. Didn't quite stand up to Nightwatch, but still had moments - i especially liked the way Vimes reacted to having his family threatened.
