Years of war, controlled by a royal family member no one have seen in years, and a god that hates babies and chocolate? This is Terry Pratchett's 31st novel in the discworld universe and probably one of his best ones. We follow Polly, a 17 year old girl in disguise as a man so she can join the army and find her brother. Her regiment is a mix of different people and creatures, but what is the common thing between all of them is that they all learn how to have a good pair of socks on them.
If you look beyond the humour and satire, there is tons of philosophical and political parts of the story. As always with Pratchett, its an adventure that you don't want to skip.
