A review by dwhitefieldstevens
Nation by Terry Pratchett
4.0
Prose: 8/10 - Simple but effective, it is a book aimed at children but this does not make the prose simple. Typical Pratchett, accessible, quick moving, but not lacking.
Re-readability: 6/10 - Easily readable, and would be again, but not the depth to feel a re-read would gain anything.
Character development: 9/10 - Mau and Daphne are well developed characters and there development through the book leads you to love them.
World building: 7/10 - Great ideas but a lot of unanswered questions around the world in which it is set, “Reunited States”?
Pacing: 8/10 - Quick, easy read. Good movement between action and character development.
Ending: 8/10 - A real ending to a young adult novel is refreshing.
Overall: 8/10 - An excellent Terry Pratchett novel that is an easy read and throughly enjoyable. It doesn’t have the full complexity and themes of a full Discworld novel but has plenty going on.
