Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett

 


Even if you haven't read Terry Pratchett, you have probably heard good things.  I bet all those good things are true.  You don't have to read any of Pratchett's Discworld series in a particular order.  In fact, Lords and Ladies is part four of a series within a series.  I found myself visualizing every scene as a cartoon in response to its nonstop comedic action.  Pratchett's wizards are powerful, perplexing, and unlike any wizards you've seen in movies.  His elves are pompous and terrifying.  His trolls are equally surprising, familiar, and hilarious while his kings are fools and his dwarves are debonair.  

Lords and Ladies will make you laugh, cry, and rouse the hero within because the magic you often find turns out to be magic that was within you the whole time and it's saving your kingdom in the nick of time.
