This is the set-up for a fun and thought-provoking adventure. The god has been reduced to this pathetic state for unknown reasons, and only Brutha can hear his angry little voice. One day while working in the fields Brutha is harassed and threatened by a tiny tortoise who claims to be the all-powerful god Om. Meanwhile on the humbler end of Omnia’s social order we meet a deeply religious youth named Brutha. In this novel (which, like most of the series, can be read as a standalone) Pratchett imagines a fanatical religious society called Omnia, which worships ‘the great god Om,’ in whose name the cruel inquisitor Vorbis roots out heretics and traitors. Small Gods is one of the high points in the long span of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. There are many treasures to be found on the Borrowbox app, and Small Gods is one of them.
