The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett (Discworld #2, Wizards #2)

The fate of Pratchett's alternative fantasy macrocosm are in the bumbling duo's hands as it hurtles its way toward a foreboding red star, threatening the fate of the entire universe.

Sharp, sardonic, and brilliantly funny, in this third installment in the bestselling Discworld series, Pratchett once again earns his master satirist reputation, with witty wordplay and irreverent storytelling that fans are sure to love.

TITLE: The Light Fantastic
AUTHOR: Terry Pratchett
PUBLISHER: Harper
YEAR: 1986
LENGTH: 288 pages
AGE: Adult
GENRE: Fantasy
RECOMMENDED: No

Queer Rep Summary: No canon queer rep.

This follows the continuing adventures of Rincewind and Twoflower. Unfortunately I still can’t stand either one of them and the tone of the quips feels off. The pacing was better than THE COLOR OF MAGIC, but this one was a miss for me. 

CW for fatphobia, sexism, adult/minor relationship, drug use, violence, gore, body horror, death.
