The Discworld series is set in a world complete with its own geography, religions, and politics. The grace, wit, and astute observation that he brought to his characters and the world they inhabit make his books a delight to read. Discworld is not a typical fantasy world it’s a flat planet resting on the backs of four elephants, which are in turn carried by a giant turtle swimming through space. Pratchett’s literary genius lies in his ability to create a richly detailed world with its own set of laws and logic. While not necessarily one of the better Discworld books `The Light Fantastic' is still a classic of the series and a must read for any fan of the series.An Introduction to Terry Pratchett’s Literary Genius The book is still a very entertaining read though being as funny as you would expect from a Discworld book and although the writing style is a bit repetitious it is still easy to read. The book has a plot that is a bit more focused and consistent than the one in `The Colour of Magic' and the tone is probably a bit closer more established setting of the later books. While `The Light Fantastic' is a far better book than its predecessor, it is still a long way off the greatness of the later Discworld books. If this wasn't bad enough Rincewind must also deal with trolls, druids, talking trees, a detour to Deaths cottage and the Discworld's greatest hero. However, the story of the Discworld's first tourist is complicated somewhat as an event that could end the world itself begins and the only thing that can stop it is the spell stuck in Rincewind's head. `The Colour of Magic' finished with Rincewind and Twoflower falling off the edge of the Disc and `The Light Fantastic' takes things from here.
