Advantages: Yet another discworld classic

Disadvantages: Noen, it's Pratchett

Sir Samuel Vimes is sent to Uberwald, to be a diplomat (!) at the crowning of the new Low king (king of all dwarves), but that's just the beginning of his problems.. the local werewolves are out to get him (in an ancient game) and his clerk turns out to be an assassin (but not out ot get him!), Captain Carrot resigns his commision, to find Angua, his werewolf girlfriend, and Fred Colon is left in charge of the Watch.. cue the music!

In the end, it all turns out well but it's an intriguing read, and it's very difficult to keep track of whose on whose side throughout the book, especially the teetotaller vampire, who has realised that she really craves POWER! And the watch goes on strike, due to Colon's inability to cope with paperwork, and someones stealing his sugar cubes!

And there's yet more Igors! Uberwald has hundreds of them!
