Fantasy

Monstrous Regiment

by Terry Pratchett · Discworld series

Polly Perks disguises herself as a boy to join Borogravia's army and search for her missing brother, only to discover she's not the only 'man' in her regiment with secrets. Pratchett skewers gender roles, nationalism, and the absurdity of war with his signature wit while delivering genuine warmth and heroism. A brilliantly subversive military fantasy that asks what makes a soldier—and what makes a woman.
