Satisfying continuation

And a setup for more stories in this world.

Disclaimer: I’ve not read any Lovecraft. But that’s why I feel like I can say: you don’t need to know the mythology to enjoy this story. Ultimately, this is a classic tale of a girl going through Some Shit (tm) and building up some family along the way. She just happens to be related to the Deep Ones. 🤷♀️ Audiobook narration is excellent.

The Colour of Magic
4 stars
Many people say that this is the worst Discworld novel to start with, because Sir Terry had not yet truly come into his own.
That may be, but without much other exposure to his writing, this is perfectly enjoyable! Just because it gets better, does not mean this is bad.
Listened to the shiny new audiobook, and the narration was quite good (though not entirely obvious it’s entirely different people narrating footnotes and a certain character).
