5.0

The best anti-feminist feminist book written about women by a man. That might not sound like a good thing, but it definitely is! I absolutely adored this book and will be recommending to literally everyone. Every single plot twist was cohesive and surprising and the ending, while mildly frustrating, was still generally satisfying. 

I was sucked in from the first line, “Polly cut off hey hair in front of the mirror, feeling slightly guilty about not feeling very guilty about doing so.” I remained attentive until the last. It truly was a great book.

To be honest not my fav Discworld book, it is a lot less funny then others to me, and the theme of war felt better handled in Jingo. I found the side characters under used specially Igor(ina) and Jade the troll.  I adore Jackrum through, I really do.
