I am loving this series. The absurdity is just what I need at this moment.
This is book 5 in the Discworld series and the 5th book I have read. I have heard many booktube opinions that seem most people don't like the Rincewind books so much but I enjoy them immensely. I adore the Luggage and Rincewind is a great character.
This story, Terry takes a few beats from the 1001 Arabian Knights tale, mixes in some Conan the Barbarian and the Apocalypse. It turns out that to be a wizard, one must be born the 7th son of a 7th son. Wizard aren't supposed to have children. If a wizard has 8 kids, that 8th kid will be a Sorcerer. They are so powerful, they can change all of reality and even banish the gods, if they choose.
I simply love Terry's writing and how quick he is with a joke. I love the humor and just how absurd it all is. He is truly a gift to our world. I'm glad I'm making headway into these books and I look forward to reading more. This book sort of ends on a cliff hanger and I look forward to finding out what happens next. I also enjoyed the character of Conina, the Barbarian, who wants to be a hairdresser. She is amazing.
