A review by lesserjoke
Nation by Terry Pratchett

3.0

This novel about the aftermath of a natural disaster in the Pacific Islands is fine, but it doesn't quite spark the joy and humor in me that I expect from Terry Pratchett at his Discworld / Good Omens best. I think I would have better enjoyed reading about these native characters rebuilding their home without the presence of shipwrecked foreigners, even if Sir Terry does use the opportunity to poke a little fun at British imperialism along the way. Still, this is leagues better than Dodger, Pratchett's other late-career foray away from his regular series.
