Rincewind, the world's most inept wizard fell of the edge of the Discworld. And yet, he somehow returns, and in the company of the terrifying magical sentient Luggage. In this fantasy of magic and mayhem, he must now help save the Discworld. Again.
I read the first few Discworld books from Pratchett when I was younger, and returning to the series here was a lovely dip into the chaotic fantasy of magic free-flowing in Discworld. I adore the characters, especially how each has a particular character trait that is so unique to themselves! I will continue through the rest of the series that I haven't read before.

There are a couple of unclear age gaps in canon relationships. One character compliments another repeatedly in a way that is kind of icky, but it is seen as a joke in the canon. A lot of the book takes place in Klatch, a continent based on ancient Arabia, and contains some inbuilt stereotypes against Arab people. The relationship between a character and their father is heavily implied to be emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive, which is handled moderately well.
