fantasy
book ? of Discworld

Typical Discworld book with all the standard characters. This book is illustrated – the pictures are good, they show characters as I would imagine them, plus extra (visual) humour. Cohen the Barbarian decides to go out with a bang – a bang in Dunmanifestin, where the gods live. Miserable Rincewind is part of the rescue team; he is just a character rather than the one who will suffer – a much more enjoyable read, for me. No surprises from the other characters, who perform much as they are expected to perform. (Except for Ponder Stibbons, who is admitted to be the one intelligent wizard.) Plenty of implausible coincidences; the characters often expect and depend on them (unfortunately, for the strength of the plot). A light and enjoyable read.

Agamedes' rating: 7 out of 10
