Hawksquill<p>Book 8 of 2025</p><p>Sourcery by Terry Pratchett</p><p>3.5 stars</p><p>A very enjoyable early Discworld! It somehow feels like it was written earlier than Equal Rites, but that could be my faulty memory since it must be over a decade since I read ER. Actually, it felt quite distinct from most of the others because the world and protagonist were permanently altered at the end, not just the usual fun deus ex machina and return to status quo. The chuckle per page ratio is skyhigh, just so many succinct, truthful, and clever observations. </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a></p>

bm<p>Things don't just stop there, though - no, no, no.

The three of them head backstage…</p><p>&gt; "You!" [Granny Weatherwax] shouted. "You're dead!"</p><p>That, he was.

It's all just paint, and sticks and paper at the back."</p>
