This sweltering masterpiece stands alone*.
in a world slowly coming to recognise how opinion+politics+money differs from science, and where climate means more than weather, Terry wrings out a yarn of inheritance v heredity, deity v religion, romance v duty and stupidity v (and I *mean* versus) ignorance. There's a lot about camels, seagulls, olive stones, the value of good needlework and sea breezes.
The story so far....
Teppic inherits the greatest kingdom in this world, i.e. the Disc.
Undeterred, he sets out to make a life for himself.
*You need know nothing of Terry Pratchett or his invented Discworld. [If you do, you meet old friends.]
OK, so Teppic is an assassin. Get over it. And a king, but you can handle that by now, can't you? As for his godship, he hardly mentions it - the camels are more crucial. The pyramids are just, well, in the way, sort of thing.
Terry writes majestic endings.
If you haven't read the book by now, I'm wasting my time.....
Obviously.....
