Small Gods by Terry Pratchett5/26/2023 If you are new to Pratchett’s writing and that ‘Book 13’ is a problem for you – please feel free to completely ignore it. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast: for the Great God Om, Brutha the novice is the Chosen One – or at least the only One available. So it’s certainly not helpful to be reduced to appearing in the form of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone’s book. In such a competitive environment, shape and size can be pretty crucial to make one’s presence felt. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. And the Word was: ‘Hey, you!’ This is the Discworld, after all, and religion is a controversial business. This was one I remembered with huge affection – would this reread be as much fun?īLURB: Just because you can’t explain it, doesn’t mean it’s a miracle.’ That said, it’s a very long time ago since I read the majority of the Discworld series, so when I saw that Small Gods was up on Netgalley, I immediately requested an arc. Anyone who has spent an amount of time here will know that I’m a HUGE Terry Pratchett fan.
