For several years, I regularly find the same advice: lireTerry Pratchett, a talented and prolific parodist. I confess to being a little reluctant to get into long fantasy cycles. But this first volume is quite to my taste! After a short period of adaptation to very specific style of the author, we are caught in this particular world. If you are not against the idea of planting a flower blooming in the past from the time there is a logical explanation, so you can enjoy terry pratchett. We follow the quest (there is always a quest) of a failed magician who comes to tourism among its poorer neighbors. The purpose of reading Terry Pratchett, as I currently includes having read that book, is to relax by reading, good heart to smile, to appreciate the wordplay and nonsense of assumed this situation, while describing with few kindly personality traits that we recognize our contemporaries as (or even at home) And for the fantasy? yet the basics are firmly laid. There are trolls, wizards, dragons, tribes, secrets to discover ... difficult to judge a series on a volume but for now it holds, and to believe the millions of fans there no reason to be disappointed
