Rincewind travels more
3 stars
This time it's Disc Australia where Rincewind went and another land was trying to cope with this anomaly of an intruder out of his place. Pterry was throwing in a lot of Aussie customs here, sadly I'm not very familiar with them and probably can't spot them all (the annotation file is so long, I'd need some time to read through it xD). UU old wizards are again laughed at for their ridiculous and chaotic manness. Ponder, a new addition to the faulty since probably Soul Music, has more involvement here and acts like a somewhat normal bystander and provides more contraty opinons and views to it. But still, it's more like the first few wizards book than the last one Interesting Times, it's the journey-oriented kind of adventure-fantasy, so it's not as impressive on me. Speaking of, Interesting Times has more fun, probably because the not-Rincewind plot is provided …

Speaking of, Interesting Times has more fun, probably because the not-Rincewind plot is provided by the Barbarians and The Red Army, not the UU wizards, and that brings more structure than random annoying arrogance of old men.
But to be fair I really liked the creator and the god of evolution parts. The essence of being. But ... what is the essence is also kind of subjective, but well, that's philosophy. It's always up for a debate.
