Stayed up until 1:00am to finish the last two hours of Thud!

You’d think I’d be prepared after seven books for Vimes to do something in the last act that has me on the edge of my seat holding my breath, until against all odds, the universe blinks first and I’m bowled over again by the heights of integrity one brave old terrier from the gutter can rise to. Still, I am surprised every time.

#my heart was BREAKING at this one oh my god that man loves his family so much #Death had a fucking near-Vimes experience YES! YES!!!!#Vimes surviving purely out of love and duty to his son #even bleeding out and battered trapped in a lightless labyrinth #the man refused to lay down and die #I’m not ready for this series to be over #so much has changed and shifted both with the characters and the world it’s amazing looking back where it all started #honestly my current plan is to just go back and reread Guards! Guards! as soon as I’m done to get the full circle picture #who knows if I’ll stop there #what I know is these books are staying with me into the future #and hey I’m not even halfway yet through the full Discworld series lmao I’ve got time left to go #and people seem to love the other ones too #I am SO glad I didn’t leave Discworld after I finished the Death series #all I know is I’m going to miss my boy Sam like nothing else. One of my favorite protagonists of all time #and the Penguin Audio productions have just brought the world into color they’re incredible #just all around absolutely brilliant books god I’m in love with them #discworld #spilling the Tea
