#TerryPrachett #ColourOfMagic

So there's a certain style feature I've noticed about Prachett. He might not do this so much in later books but I've haven't read them yet.

It's a feature I think a lot of writers have which is their writing is influenced by film and TV. So some things are mentioned but not explained too well.

It's not necessarily a problem but it can mean certain parts lack in clarity.

Some thoughts on the #ColourOfMagic

I'm only a few pages in so far. It's pretty much what I expected from #TerryPratchett's writing - a kind of cartoon style of writing.

There's already about a million characters but it isn't confusing and the plot doesn't lose pace as it flips around.

The story structure is quite gripping. It starts with a devastation, then sets about explaining how that came to be. From what I've read of Prachett's writing style, he doesn't use outlines, just drafts ...
