But this book is lots of fun with another plot to displace/replace Vetinari as the Patrician. And some of the best lines go to him as well. My favorite is one from near the end of the book: "Mr. Lipwig, do I need to wear a button that says TYRANT?
It's also another book that visits or mentions a lot of past characters.
