Day 4: Favourite book of your favourite series.

Oh nooo. This one was tough.

The Discworld series is so full of strong women characters - Susan, Tiffany Aching, Angua, Granny, Magrat...

But if I had to pick a book, just one book, I'd have to pick this.

Monstrous Regiment (Discworld series)
by Terry Pratchett

This book is so good as a girl power book.

Think Mulan.

Like all of Pratchett's books, Monstrous Regiment is witty and funny and angry and sad. It makes you think and weep and laugh.

The women of this book are remarkably well written, something I can say of all of Pratchett's female characters. They're fleshed out incredibly well and you cannot ever mistake one for another (a problem I have with a lot of fantasy novels).

Oh god, why did I think that I could write about this book. I get so many feels when I even think about it.

“What does a man stand up to do, a woman sit down to do, and a dog lift its leg to do?” And then, when everyone was too embarrassed to answer, she’d triumphantly shriek “Shake hands!”
