“The Octavo filled the room with a dull, sullen light, which wasn’t strictly light at all but the opposite of light; darkness isn’t the opposite of light, it is simply its absence, and what was radiating from the book was the light that lies on the far side of darkness, the light fantastic.”
The Discworld is in danger, heading towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, its magic fading. It needs a hero, and fast. What it doesn’t need is Rincewind, an inept and cowardly wizard who is still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world, or Twoflower, the well-meaning tourist whose luggage has a mind (and legs) of its own. Thankfully, geriatric barbarian Cohen is on hand with to help the quest to save the universe and unite the spell in Rincewind’s head with Discworld’s most powerful book of magic, the Octavo. The Light Fantastic is Terry Pratchett’s second Discworld novel continues the story of the Colour of Magic – a hilarious romp around the Discworld!
The Light Fantastic is the second book in the Wizards series, (but you can read the Discworld novels in any order!).
