Another great book about the discworld. This can be read as a total stand alone, as the characters don't appear again.
The story is set in a desert kingdom that is basically broke because it buries their kings in pyramids, which turns out not to be such a good idea for many more reasons. But you better read the book to learn about the pyramids.
The story follows Pteppic or Teppic, the son of the king of the Old Kingdom. Since the country doesn't have any money the king sends him to Ankh-Morpork to learn a trade, he becomes an assassin. But then his father dies and he has to go back and be king. Back in the Old Kingdom he is faced with the backwardness of the country and the little influence he has as a king.
And then there was the thing with the pyramids.
I really enjoyed this book. Pratchett combines so many stories and ideas in this book, and of course he looks at them a little different than we normally do. I just like how he makes you think about the things you always believed and never questioned.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes to laugh and peek outside the box.
