I wasn't a Rincewind fan but I think I've found a great appreciation for his cowardly survival tactics after reading this book.

This book had me laughing out loud and feeling all the feels. Rincewind and Twoflower are an excellent duo, and the Luggage has a soft spot in my heart. Adored my time with this book.

So I'm currently reading Malazan Book of the Fallen, and I read The Color of Magic only as a side read while reading Deadhouse Gates. I wanted to start Memories of Ice immediately once I was done with the two, but since this one continues from where The Color of Magic left off, I went for this one, knowing that it is a short read and that once I start Memories, I won't be able to stop to read this. Anyway, this book felt a bit better than the first installment at times, weaker at others. Honestly speaking, can't really separate the two. There were some really brilliant moments in there, but a lot of it was also meh. All in all, a fairly entertaining read that made me chuckle at times.
