This book continues the adventures of Rincewind Discworld's least likely wizard to survive. And yet somehow he does! In many ways this book is a completion of the action started in Colour of Magic. I especially enjoy the image of Cohen the Barbarian [Conan the Barbarian] past his prime. Many will remember his final adventure in the beutifully illustrated The Last Hero--which also...more

I've decided to read the Discworld novels in order of publication, which I realize is not the way a lot of people read them, but nevertheless, etc. I enjoyed this novel a lot more than I did the first, /The Color of Magic./ There was a unifying story this time, and the overall sense that the narrative was going somewhere.

Read this book.

Great A Tuin is heading towards a big star. And Rincewind has this terrible feeling that the only spell he knows, is trying to get said, and that that can't be good. Pratchett continues the story with Rincewind and Twoflower in this novel. If you liked The Colour of Magic, you will like this.

This goes for all Disc World novels:These books are the ultimate escapism. Funny, entertaining, totally unbelievable but absorbing reads, with obvious parallels and digs at our world and it’s societies. Highly recommended. Tip: read at least the 1st 3 novels in the correct order, then you can dive into the series willy-nilly and understand it.
