Sourcery

Executive Summary: This one might be a tie with [b:The Color of Magic 34497 The Color of Magic (Discworld, #1; Rincewind #1) Terry Pratchett https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1407111017s/34497.jpg 194190] as my least favorite of Discworld thus far.Full ReviewAfter how much I enjoyed [b:The Light Fantastic 34506 The Light Fantastic (Discworld, #2; Rincewind #2) Terry Pratchett https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1389554927s/34506.jpg 592532] I was looking forward to another Rincewind book. I just never got into this one as much. There are once again some great jokes, but many of them felt in one or two parts of the book and then longer stretches where I didn't even chuckle.The plot wasn't terribly engaging. It had potential. The Eighth son of the Eighth son is destined to be a Sorcerer, far more powerful than any Wizard of Discword. But I guess the execution was just a bit lackluster.Maybe I don't like the Rincewind books as much. Or maybe I'm getting burned out on Discworld after reading so many in a short period. I think it's most likely that in a series this large, they can't all be winners.The highlight of the book was Conina. The badass barbarian warrior women with aspirations of being a hairdresser. Most of the funniest quotes of the book seemed to involve her in some way. I hope we'll be seeing more of her in future books.
