Episodes

Dave Langford reviewed The Colour of Magic for White Dwarf #64, and stated that "It's one of those horrible, antisocial books which impel the reader to buttonhole friends and quote bits at them.

Only native sadism makes me recommend this disgraceful work." Colin Greenland reviewed The Colour of Magic for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Terry Pratchett does for sword and sorcery what Douglas Adams did for science fiction." In 2015, Sam Jordison at The Guardian gave a positive review of The Colour of Magic.
