There is also the introduction of the Clacks system (semaphore towers) which will play such a big part in the future books.
I think that I'm becoming soft and sentimental in my years. I know that there are several books to go in the series, but just thinking about the end coming brings tears to my eyes, and the touching bits in the stories seem that much more poignant. The part in this one that almost brought out a sob was when Angua is asking Carrot to be the one to put her down.
