Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
4.0

Brilliant. At times a little heavy-handed on the girl-power element, but certainly not enough that it ruins the book. In Monstrous Regiment Pratchett explores patriotism, religion, sexism and (most importantly) the power of socks. I really hate war, and this is very anti-war, so that's fun, and I loved all of the characters. Plus, in my heart of hearts Sergeant Jackrum is trans.

Side note: I've had this on my shelf for ages, and when I was younger I didn't know that it was part of the Discworld series. So, when I picked it up and read the beginning I thought it was an alternate WWII history where Germany won. I don't know why I think I just saw the name 'Borogravia' and assumed that. Anyway, that's not what it is it's much better than that.
