In the twenty-eighth Discworld novel the Discworld goes to war.It began as a sudden strange fancy... Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers was easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time... And now she's enlisted in the army, and searching for her lost brother.But there's a war on. There's always a war on. And Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training, and the enemy is hunting them.All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee. Well... They have the Secret. And as they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they have to use all the resources of... the Monstrous Regiment.

Review of 'Monstrous Regiment: Discworld Novel 31 (Discworld Novels)' on 'Storygraph'

5 Sterne

As her country fights an insane and mostly unwinnable war, Polly Perks signs up to the army to find her brother Paul. As dressing as the opposite sex is one of a multitude of insane religious rules in her country, she employs short hair, trousers, burping and socks in her pants to ensure she enlists as a man. As she signs up alongside a troll, a vampire and a zealot among others, she rapidly learns she’s not the only woman in the military. It’s Pratchett so you know it’s awesome, but it’s a great ride through the absurdities of war, nationalism, sexism, and religion. But it’s also a fun comic take on the very very very long history of women cross-dressing to join the military (many of whom had distinguished service before they were discovered).
