When Prince Teppic was finishing his test to become an official Assassin of the Assassin's Guild the last thing he expected was automatically giving it up to take up the throne and Godhead of Djelibeybi. Brought into the modern world with his years in Ankh-Morpork he stood the entire ancient society of his homeland on its head when he came home. To think that the newly crowned Pharaoh would care about who served under him and that he would want to do a few things on his own?! ( )

I think this is one of my favourite Pratchetts, it takes us to a new strange land on Discworld, which is not quite like Ancient Egypt. ( )

Wacky Ancient Egyptian Deities with uncommonly modern sensibilities and powertools.

“Belief is a force. It’s a weak force, by comparison with gravity; when it comes to moving mountains, gravity wins every time. But it still exists, and now that the Old Kingdom was enclosed upon itself, floating free of the rest of the universe, drifting away from the general consensus that is dignified by the name of reality, the power of belief was making itself felt.”

The seventh Discworld book. It has entirely new characters (except for a brief cameo by Death, of course), none of whom I found particularly great. And judging by a glance a Wikipedia, none of them return later, so I might suggest skipping this one. But I won't suggest that, because it's reasonably funny. It's not hilarious - I find Pratchett's best humor is when it comes from funny characters rather than from jokes or parody - but it's reasonably funny. I'm a little disappointed that so far most of the Discworld series all basically have a variation on the same plot. The form the variation takes in this one is fairly clever, though. ( )

Awww -- and here I thought I had another book to use my "incest" tag for. Oh wells, maybe next time. Anyway, yeah, this was good. ( )
