I finally finished this book. It's the second I read from Discworld and I definitely want more.
I wont say it was great, because it wasn't. it had it's funny moments, it has awesome quotes, but it also had weird story jumps.

I want more about the Discworld Gods. And I guess I'll have to keep up with Rincewind, just to see what the Gods will do to him next... ( )

The first 30% of this book is pretty good, and might perhaps deserve four stars on its own. The rest of it is a bit better than I remembered from previous readings: it’s at least inventive and readable. But the plot is rather aimless.

The whole book suffers somewhat from being a story about Rincewind the failed wizard, and all stories about Rincewind seem to consist of him endlessly running from one predicament to another. Some readers may enjoy this, but I find it rather tedious. Perhaps because this is the first Discworld book and everything is new, at least to the author, this is not the most tedious of the various Rincewind stories.

A disadvantage of being the first book is that various aspects of the Discworld haven’t yet settled down into their final form. In particular, the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork doesn’t yet have a name, and doesn’t seem quite the same as the man we later come to know as Havelock Vetinari—although Pratchett is said to have stated that this Patrician is indeed Vetinari. He just doesn’t seem quite himself.

First appearances of Rincewind the incompetent wizard, Twoflower the tourist, the Luggage, and Death. ( )

A proven classic, more humor than fantasy, a bit like enjoying a tabletop role-playing game with old friends and inside jokes. The humor is the point, and this lighthearted fantasy adventure is replete with puns, plays on words, malapropism as incisive commentary. Cut perhaps from the same cloth as Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers series, as serious (both not at all and deadly so) and as memorable. ( )

Being the first book in Pratchett's Discworld series, The Colour of Magic feels more like an experimental foundation than a fully polished work. The characters, however, are undeniably endearing, with the dynamic between Rincewind's bumbling incompetence and Twoflower's guileless optimism delivering humor and intrigue.

Pratchett's descriptions of the Discworld universe are intricate and brimming with joy, making the setting a delight to explore. While the book may not be a relentless page-turner, it clearly showcases the mind of a highly intelligent author with a boundless and charming imagination. ( )

"Who could cheat fate?"
"No one. Yet everyone tries."

I hate when I'm the only one hating in a sea of love. But this was just not a funny book to me. I didn't like either MC and any of their little encounters.

Not even the dragon or the sea troll (or death OR his lackey) could save this one for me. ( )
