En galen resa som man inte vet vart den ska sluta.

4 stars

Gillar man galna karaktärer, tokiga äventyr och fanatsy så är hela bokserien om Diskvärlden något man borde läsa. Bara inledningen att välden, som är en platt disk, vilar på fyra elefanter som står på ryggen av en stor sköldpadda som svävar genom universum borde ge en ledtråd till vad som komma skall, och det gör det.

Colour of Magic handlar om en mer eller mindre misslyckad trollkarl som blir guide, eller följeslagare till en turist som leder dem in på en galen resa och knäppa karaktärer, till och med döden själv dyker upp vid ett par tillfällen för att försöka göra slut på deras resa.
