History

|---|---|---|
9 November 1989 | Publication | Received as a significant development in the Discworld series, marking Pratchett's move toward more sustained character-driven satire. Critics noted the stronger emotional investment the Watch format allowed compared to the earlier parodic novels, and Vimes was immediately recognised as one of Pratchett's most compelling creations. The novel performed strongly commercially and its critical reputation has grown considerably over time - it is now frequently cited as the ideal entry point into the Discworld for readers interested in its social commentary. |
