Never Fails to Make Me Smile
I know a few Pratchett fans aren't always too keen on the Rincewind novels, but I find him hilariously charming! He always gives the impression that he's f... READ MORE

Beautiful edition
Excellent. This madness of magic and power is such a great novel. While Rincewind isn't a favourite of mine in the Discworld, he is excellent in this, he i... READ MORE

Synopsis

Rincewind is back in another hilarious Discworld adventure, featuring Sir Terry Pratchett's classic wit and satirical edge

'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin

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 Rincewind and the Luggage as the Discworld faces its greatest - and funniest - challenge yet.

Readers love Sourcery:

'I was so pleased to be back with Rincewind, and of course, The Luggage . . . I enjoyed every moment' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Takes on sword and sorcery fantasies, taking satirical swipes at pretty much all the big ones- Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Fantasia, The Tempest, Conan the Barbarian, 1001 Nights, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser . . . One of my favourite Discworld novels so far' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'A pretty darn good book . . . in my opinion has a bit more depth and detail than the first few books, and feels like the Discworld is becoming much more of a "World"' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'It had magic, it had heroes (and heroines), it had the Librarian, it had Rincewind, it had The Luggage and it had DEATH. What more do you need for a great Discworld novel' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'I adore the Luggage and Rincewind is a great character . . . I simply love Terry's writing and how quick he is with a joke. I love the humour and just how absurd it all is' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Wonderful imagination and terrific humour as usual from this excellent fantasy author' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Good but not my favourite
I love the Discworld novels but generally the Rincewind ones aren't my favourite. I felt this book rehashed a lot of the ideas covered already in The Light... READ MORE

Good
I think this is better than Eric and interesting times but the Thief of time (the death series) is one of my favourites as well as the city watch series!
