I haven't read Color of Magic since 2009. Having read other Discworld in between, I really understand now why Pratchett called it and The Light Fantastic "essays in the craft."  This is a chaotic whirlwind of a book and not exactly good, compared to later books in the series. And that's part of what makes in awesome. What a gift we were given, to watch Discworld's (and Pratchett's) progress across the decades. Don't read it for what it is; read it for what it's building the foundation for.
