The Color of Magic

I wavered between 3 and 4 stars for this. Overall I enjoyed it: I've read a couple of his other books and this is what you'd expect from a Pratchett novel (whimsical, witty, eccentric). You can feel the beginnings of his style taking shape here, which is fun to see. I get the feeling that Rincewind isn't a fan favourite character but I found him entertaining. That said it was a little all over the place plot-wise, and felt quite chaotic. The pacing was also not very refined. All in all though it's a solid start to the epic Discworld series.

This is the first of Pratchett's Discworld series. I have read and enjoyed others in the setting but had never read this one. In case you are new to it, the discworld is literally a disc-shaped world being carried through space on the backs of four elephants, which are standing on a great tortoise. As you can tell, the rules are all different in this world. If you are looking for deep history and fully formed fantasy languages keep looking. If you want a laugh-out-loud fun romp, open this happy tome.

Menuda fantasía. Necesito más de lo mismo.

Mrakoplaše zrovna nemusím, ale tohle byla moje první kniha o Zeměploše a chytlo mě to.

PERO QUE CLASE DE FINAL ES ESTE?!
Soy una lectora y tengo mis derechos! Que ha pasado aquí?!

While a bit overwhelming and sometimes inconsistent, this was a fun read.

He releído muchas veces el Mundodisco pero hacerlo en compañía está siendo el doble de divertido. Sabemos que este libro no es el mejor, incluso mucha gente recomienda no empezar por aquí su viaje a lomos de Gran A'Tuin, pero es innegable que aunque Pratchett desechó varias ideas de esta novela TODA la esencia del Mundodisco está aquí. #ElVerdaderoTerraplanismo
