In the twenty-eighth Discworld novel the Discworld goes to war.It began as a sudden strange fancy... Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers was easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time... And now she's enlisted in the army, and searching for her lost brother.But there's a war on. There's always a war on. And Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training, and the enemy is hunting them.All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee. Well... They have the Secret. And as they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they have to use all the resources of... the Monstrous Regiment.

super enjoyable

this was was really nice. it feels like a counterpart of sorts to Equal Rites, but with everything Pratchett learned in the intervening 25 or so novels put to good use. didn't feel as preachy as some of the previous novels, but still had that biting social commentary Pratchett's so famous for. this was a re-read for me, and one of those cases where i remembered a lot about the book even though i hadn't read it in like 15 years, but it was still enjoyable, so it must be good.
