Finished reading: Jingo by Terry Pratchett 📚

I went into this thinking it was the final book in the Night’s Watch series, but it turns out there are several more. Huzzah! I don’t want it to be over for some time yet, even if there are other Discworld books to read.

For a comedy, Jingo sure does have a thoughtful approach to xenophobia and racism themes. Multiple times I wanted to punch Colon in the face (affectionately), and there are some great double-bluff moments where Vimes has to consider and reconsider the shallowness of his own approach to anti-xenophobia. It’s also the second Discworld book I’ve read in a row in which a cast of characters visits Klatch (a Middle-East analogue).
