Theres a lot of great stuff in this book, I just found a lot of plot not very interesting. I loved all the descriptions of Great ATuin, the giant turtle on which the four elephants that hold up Discworld are standing on. I think what made this challenging to get in to the book was the main storyline was interrupted with snippits of gods controlling movement or position of the characters, and I still dont know what that was about. The one character in Color of Magic that I somewhat cared about was Twoflowers Luggage. I found I wasnt nearly attached to any of the characters in this book compared to Wee Free Men where I was immediately invested in Tiffany, her brother, and all the Nac Mac Feegles. I really loved the Tiffany Aching series, but struggled to get immersed in this book. I started with the Tiffany Aching series (which was a great introduction to Discworld!), and thought Id go back and start at the beginning. But if the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death is a spectacularly inept wizard, a little logic might turn out to be a very good idea.This is the first book in the Discworld series, but my 6th Discworld book that Ive read. Its very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the arrival of the first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. But just because the Disc is different doesn't mean that some things don't stay the same. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers. Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Twoflower was a tourist, the first ever seen on the Discworld. Categories Adult Fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy
