If I told you I had just finished a book that has a school for wizards that continually changes its floor plan, a wizard who talks to a snake, and a wizard's hat that talks, you would know exactly which book I had just read, right? Well, if you are a Terry Pratchett fan, you would know that I have just read his fifth Discworld book, Sourcery. I wonder if J.K. Rowling is a Terry Pratchett fan?

In this Discworld novel, a sorcerer has been born on the Disc. Can Rincewind stop him from bringing about the end of the world? This was a typical Disworld novel with returning characters, such as Rincewind, the Luggage, and the Librarian, and some new ones too. I think I liked Rincewind a little more in this one than in previous novels he has been the focus of, but I still found myself skimming a lot of passages to get to the end of the book.
