![]() Pratchett has a lot to say, and potentially only one book to get it said. With the series being as huge as it is, as well as my experience with the tone and workings of the world, I couldn’t help thinking about the novel as a singular work with nothing but a potential future ahead of it.Thinking about it in this way, I realized that as much it’s meant to poke fun at fantasy clichés, it also serves as a crash course on the Discworld as a whole. It was a curious experience, reading the first novel in a series I know to be just over forty books long, especially since my first experience with it was reading its fourteenth entry. ![]() Having read Men at Arms years ago, getting through the entire Discworld series from start to finish has been a goal of mine that I’m just now starting to see through. The book is divided into sections, each section kind of like its own short story, following the pair as they travel across the Discworld to see the sights and regularly get into mortal peril. This tourist is a naïve but rich man named Twoflower from the Agatean Empire, who is accompanied by a sentient luggage chest with hundreds of legs. The story follows Rincewind, an incompetent and craven wizard who gets roped into escorting the Discworld’s first ever tourist. The novel is the first of 41 total books in the author’s immensely popular Discworld series. ![]() The Colour of Magic is a 1983 comic fantasy novel written by Terry Pratchett. ![]()
