I loved this book. It was cute and entertaining, while at the same time having depth and meaning. It's a bit of a survival tale, a bit of a fish out of water tale, a bit of a identity quest tale. Really good stuff.

This wasn't what I expected but that's usually the case with Terry Pratchett. Nation was an excellent blend of indigenous verses western civilizations and exploring the effects cultures have on each other while challenging pre conceived notions and bias. There was thought provoking discourse on belief in Gods and what exactly belief is.

All in all, this was a lovely stand alone novel that encourages scientific thought and challenging the norms of society.
