Hi everyone
Terry Pratchett's novel The Last Continent is his 22nd book in the Discworld series.
This is my third time reading it and I can't really remember where I got it, but you can surely buy the series here.
"IT'S THE DISCWORLD LAST CONTINENT AND IT'S GOING TO DIE IN A FEW DAYS, EXCEPT...
Who
is this hero striding across the red desert? Sheep shearer, beer
drinker, bush ranger, and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater
when he's sober.
A man in a hat whose luggage follows him on
little legs. Yes, it's Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even spell
wizard. He's the only hero left."
The Last Continent isn’t my favorite Discworld novel, but it’s still a blast. It’s fun, fast-paced, and packed with references and Discworld lore. The story is crazy in the best way, with so much happening that you’re never bored. Rincewind’s usual brand of chaos is on full display, and the sheer absurdity of the plot makes it a joy to read.
The humor is sharp, the satire is clever, and the world-building is as rich as ever. Pratchett’s knack for poking fun at anything and everything is a highlight here. And, of course, the Luggage steals every scene it’s in (as always).
I'm just not a fan of Rincewind so his books are never my favorites.
While The Last Continent might not be Pratchett’s best, it’s still a wildly entertaining read. It’s funny, clever, and full of heart, everything you’d expect from a Discworld novel.
Have you read The Last Continent? What's your favorite Discworld book? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Happy reading!

I’m currently reading through the entire series and really enjoying it! I’m on book 15; Men at arms. It’s my first time reading them, and I can’t believe I waited this long.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat's great! Men At Arms is fantastic and I'm so,so happy you started reading and (more importantly) enjoying them. I reread a few every year, just like my dad because they are just amazing. Have fun!
