Ari-chan

So, I said to myself, why not write reviews for the books that I read?  And then also write about the manga’s that I read. I can polish my english (yes, language is a weapon, so you polish it. Unless it’s a mace, and you just… i don’t know… dust it?) during the process of writing geniality filled stuff.

No, it is not the first book I read, it’s just the first one i’ll review. Red = number of book, blue = title of book, green = author (although I’m sure you could have figured this on your own. Unless you’re a troll. No offense intended)

Book # 1 - “Sourcery” - Terry Prachett

Oh, how I always tell others that being yourself is really the only thing one can do at a level of somewhat perfection (well, that and running away. Really, I have seen people that have created the Godly Level at that…) but yet again, I never managed to put it in a magi-war surrounding, with stuff flying all around and things warping into other things. Maybe that would have been more convincing.

So, getting back were we should be (or better said, as Pratchett would put it, we are already were we should be. It’s the rest of the world that isn’t here). This is the third(if you’ve read the books in order, cause’ else it could be first or fourth, or second, in any order…) book where we once again meet the pragmatical wizard (well, at least that what his hat says) Rincewind, who does a very good job at Staying Alive. And, once again, he must save the world. Because, if the world would die out, then he would do so too. And he really wouldn’t like that.

He really manages to make the story interesting (as a main character should, except if you’re a few certain author(s) and believe that you’re character simply oozes geniality just because you make it a sparkly vampire or other such nonsense), and while he tumbles (and stumbles) in love with Conina, the female protagonist of Sourcery, he is followed by the loyal Luggage (which, in my opinion, is one of the most brilliant characters of belles-lettres and reality alike) and remains the same old witty wanna-be-wizard that we all know (or are about to drastically find out).

The main “evil-dooer” of this book is the Sorcerer, that is controlled by his father-staff (which, as you could intelligently catch on, is his father’s soul in the staff that all wizards should possess). He doesn’t talk that much, being much more the “warp the world more, talk less” type of guy. Well, he does talk, but his lines aren’t all that interesting, so I won’t lodge them into the dark parts of my brain (and I do have many of those). See, I already forgot them.

Now, much more cannot be said without ruining the future delight any more. A book with wanna bees and queen bees (the peachy Conina being the aforementioned queen), gods (although they play a very small part), and the short but extremely expensive appearances of Death. A definitely must read.

“Conina said, ‘All right. I’ve always wondered what a harem looked like.’”
