Finished Wachen! Wachen! (orig: Guards! Guards!) by Terry Pratchett

I did not care for the beginning, as it felt more like a parody of a book I haven't read (similar to The Light Fantastic), but the book really found itself after 100 pages. Even though I knew 70% of the story by osmosis from the general culture before, it was great. From the current perspective, to me, it looks like a feel-good book similar to Becky Chambers and Travis Baldree from another, more ironic and less earnest time.
