Discworld Project - 1

Colour of Magic

This book is a parody of sword and sourcery up to and including its style of writing, being set as a compilation of novellas rather than a contiguous story.

While never really laugh out loud funny, the jokes and humor have a way of consistently being entertaining. The overall structure of the book is unappetizing, but as a seed that would grow into the tree that is Discworld as a whole, there's a lot worse you could do.

A fairly good book featuring a pretty novel premise that, while not perfect, definitely is still worthy of being a Discworld novel.

I give it a solid C.

This is the start of a project I'm doing to read all of Discworld once more and do an art piece for every single novel, stylized as a book cover!
