This is probably a rather obscure choice, but I can't help it, I love Monstrous Regiment to bits. Also I'm totally shipping Polly/Maladict, because seriously, it's almost canon, y/y? And I don't even do shipping usually, plus I'm so bored by the broody but elegant vampire trope (I'm usually more for the Count Orloks of vampire lore). But it's Pratchett, lame tropes get awesome just by association in his books and wow, does it get awesome. So Maladict can brood as much as he wants as far as I'm concerned, and dazzle his way up the army ranks, and make sweet love to Polly along the way. Don't judge me. That book speaks to my inner squee.
I'm coming up empty with any other reasons why this book is so great that aren't major spoilers, but let's just say, when I first finished the book I was like, OKAY, disbelief so not suspended, dude. That shark you jumped there had whale-size proportions. Then I thought about it, and I realized that I actually loved that he went all-out in the most batshit crazy way possible; anything else than sea animal sports would have been a let-down. After all, we're speaking of a fantasy world that is supported by four elephants standing on the back of a turtle. Also we have a ragtag bunch of misfits (a vampire, an Igor, a troll, two runaways, a nutjob) with SECRETS trying to survive the day, what's not to love?
