Fistula Juice posted:why am i the only person that loves The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic?? I actually prefer T Pratchett's earlier work, like The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic. In the later books it kinda feels like he's put more thought into it, yeah, but that's sort of killed the spontaneity and sillyness of it. Latest books feel like it's still sillyness, but it's like he's trying to validate the sillyness, and he also uses italics way too much. He's giving rules to his world and that's making it a lot less exciting for me. The tone of the books, seeing as he's now putting thought into the plot rather than letting his innate humour run wild, comes across as kind of irritatinly smart alec. This is probably just me though. Oh and all of his characters kind of feel the same now. I don't know how to explain it because they all have separate characteristics and, you know, ways of speaking and things like that, but deep down they all seem to be exactly the same.
