Sourcery is another romp through the weird and wacky Discworld. It also marks the return of Rincewind, a minor wizard with limited magical powers but possessing the all-important gift of staying alive. That's not easy for a wizard to do on Discworld. Especially when a powerful sourcerer shows and takes over the Unseen University, the home of most wizards and the repository of magical knowlege. A huge war begins begins the wiarding factions with towers springing up everywhere. Rincewind just wants to avoid the mess but gets tangled up in it anyway. The Luggage is in this book as well, but in a more limited capacity. As always, the book is filled with hilarious analogies and personifications; but it is also very hectic and jumps from one site of action to another. Personally, this is probably my least favorite of Practchett's books that I have read so far. All seven of them. There's tons more to go. And even though it is my least favorite, I still enjoyed it a lot. Anything that makes me laugh is a good thing. Now I've started
Interesting Times and looking forward to more good times.
