What took me so long, Terry? Thanks for another cracker adventure. I hope wherever you are is just as spectacular.

Preferred this over The Colour of Magic, mainly due to it having a single overarching plot throughout the whole book unlike the first which felt more like random adventures stuck together.
Excited to read more from Discworld as l've read these first two books are not "the best ones" in the series
Definitely more enjoyable than Colour of Magic. I liked the story a lot more.

This was a continuation of Rincewind's story in the Discworld series. It picks up right where book one left off. However, the plot this time revolves around the spell trapped within Rincewind instead of the zany adventures one experiences while babysitting an oblivious and naive tourist. The stakes are a little higher as the Discworld seems doomed to celestial obliteration as it draws closer and closer to a giant star in the sky. Rumor has it Rincewind's spell must be reunited with the other great spells in order for disaster to be averted.
I won't give away anything important. I'll just say this was fun and entertaining.

Only once before have I rated a book without actually finishing it, however last night at around fifty pages from the end, my patience ran out. I gave a negative review to The Colour of Magic because I found it to be completely structureless, and nothing had any meaning because anything could happen at any moment. There is a little more structure in this book because there is an overarching conflict that is explained to you, I would have thought this would be a vast improvement, but ultimately because the actual narrative is still nonsensical drivel, it all counts for naught.
With big book series' like this it often takes me the second or third novel to really get into it, but this is one of the worst things I have ever read and I refuse to suffer through another word. It genuinely baffles me how this belongs to such a popular author, I can only assume the quality of his work rose steeply following this, but I don't have the patience to stick around for the ride.
Even Stephanie Meyer having a stroke could write better than this.
