![]() ![]() I had to get used to the idea that I wasn’t about to read this series in order. Nick and I are currently working our way through the Rincewind series of these books mainly because I just had to start at the first book and could not be dissuaded. It was a bit muddled sounding, but Planer is such a great narrator that I’ll continue to listen to these books. ![]() The narration quality for The Light Fantastic is much better than the narration quality for The Color of Magic. I guess they just took the old recordings (maybe) and made them digital. The only complaint I have (and it’s not with the narrator) is that the quality of these audiobooks aren’t the greatest. Nigel Planer’s narration of these books was lively. It wasn’t terrible, but I just found myself bored with at points and hoping that continuing forward in this series the rest wouldn’t be quite as tedious as this. However, I figure that the first book was really just to introduce me to the world, much like taking a tourist on their first trip of a land, and give me a feel of where these stories are going more than anything else. ![]() I was only mildly amused by most of this book until the end when it started showing some of what I could expect with upcoming books in terms of storytelling. He just didn’t make me feel any particular way about him. I liked him as the cowardly wizard turned unconventional hero with the (unwanted) help of Twoflower and Luggage. I certainly enjoyed Twoflower and Luggage (who is my favorite character and the real MVP of this series). Twoflower hires Rincewind to be his guide through this strange land, leading Rincewind on adventures he’d rather not have.Īdmittedly, I wasn’t overly impressed with The Color of Magic. We meet Rincewind, a cowardly failed wizard who has one of the world’s greatest spells lodged in his head, a spell so great that other spells refuse to stay in the same head, and Twoflower (with Luggage), a tourist from a far land who looks at the world through such rosy glasses that he believes nothing bad could ever happen to him and generally, this holds true for him. Readers learn about Discworld, a world that rides on the back of a giant turtle–called Great A’Tuin–swimming through space.
