Book Description

There was an eighth son of an eighth son.  He was, quite naturally, a wizard.  And there it should have ended.  However (for reasons we'd better not go into), he had seven sons.  And then he had an eighth son...a wizard squared...a source of magic...a Sourcerer.

SOURCERY SEES THE RETURN OF RIContinue

    It starts very similar to Equal Rites, but sadly the main character of the story is not Coin but Rincewind (I'm sorry, I can't stand him >.<).
    It's kinda weird re-reading the first Discworld novels after having read the later ones: this books are still heavily influenced by pre-existing stories (even though they're far from the almost direct parody that was The Colour of Magic), and while you can see Pratchett's genius in some part, I think he got really, really better with time.

    This book is really quotable, though. And it has the first appearance of the concept of knurd ♥

  • After having read this book, I would like to answer to every single philosophical and existential question of my life with a simple:

    "Oook"

  • Not my favourite Discworld story

    A bit over the top and large in scope, this is not as brilliantly written as later Discworld novels, but it's still most definitely worth reading.
