Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels are consistent number one bestsellers in England, where they have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.The Color of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the now-legendary land of Discworld. This is where it all begins--with the tourist Twoflower and his wizard guide, Rincewind.

This is the first Discworld book but my second, having read Small Gods first, and although supposedly they can be read in any order I prefer, much like Star Wars, to read in the published sequence, as in this case (not Star Wars), it looks like the books get better over time. This one is still fun but doesn't have the sly digs of Small Gods, it's more like a D&D parody. And while I complained about the lack of women with speaking roles in Small Gods, there are a couple of notable female characters here, admittedly with high levels of nudity (it's a miracle HBO didn't adapt this instead of Game of Thrones), but both in leadership positions, one queen and one goddess, so take that DEI and smoke it!
