The thirteenth novel in the Discworld series from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.
Lost in the chill deeps of space between the galaxies, it sails on forever, a flat, circular world carried on the back of a giant turtle— Discworld —a land where the unexpected can be expected. Where the strangest things happen to the nicest people. Like Brutha, a simple lad who only wants to tend his melon patch. Until one day he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god, to be sure. But bossy as Hell.

Are these novels stand alone, or should one strive to read them in order?
This one does a nice job of standing on its own. Some of the humor might miss without broader context, but overall it's still highly enjoyable.
Source - I have given this book to people with no prior knowledge.
Been reading the series straight through release order over last 2 years. This one stands on its own and is one of my favorites. Other books in the series have recurring characters and settings.
All of the novels are standalone but there are repeat characters that create multi-book story arcs (The Watch, the witches, rincewind, etc). You can find reading orders for these with a quick Google.

If y'all don't own it, it's $2. You will not find a better laugh to dollar ratio anywhere in this universe. Just buy it. Pratchett is a master. His world is alive. There is not a better comedic series in fiction, period. Hell, you could argue there's not a better series in fiction, period, but I'm not here to start a fight.

If this is what people are calling funny, then I'll pass.
