Book Review: Pratchett Delivers Another Great Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a reader of Pratchett's Discworld series for quite some time, so I jumped at the chance to read his latest book. It's not a Discworld novel, but Nation has all the trademark Pratchett humor.
Mau returns to his island, the Nation, only to find that the tidal wave which delayed his homecoming wiped out all life on the island. This disaster not only wiped out his way of life, but his faith in his gods as well. The only god he continues to believe in is Locaha, the god of death.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the island, Daphne (born Ermintrude) has survived the wreck of the Sweet Judy. The only other survivor is the captain's parrot, whose vocabulary is most unsuitable for young ladies.
These two must come together, not only to survive, but to rebuild and protect the Nation which is under attack from cannibalistic raiders, pirates, and imperialists. Both must make the transition from the way they've been taught to view the world, to finding their own visions, often with humorous results.
