      I’ve had my eye on the night watch before, it’s part of the discworld series right, every time I come across that it looks a little daunting, is it one big series or just drop in wherever

          Thanks for the deep dive into the series there, much appreciated and really helpful, I’ll 100% be adding them to my list, probably pick the few you mentioned before the 5th instalment Night Watch.

          I do love a series that’s complicated and has a whole world built with characters that crossover, good shit right there. ^^

            Btw there is a nice guide for the reading order and connections of the main Discworld books. While I haven’t read Night Watch, Guards! Guards! is also very good and it sets up the watch story nicely so you could start from there and maybe skip a few books before the Night Watch.

          Would it be benefitial to start 4 books prior to Night Watch, being The Truth or somewhere else?

          Edit* I’ve just seen in readarr that the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is sectioned off so I’ve just started there ^^
