Long Lost Reviews is a monthly meme created by Ally over at Ally’s Appraisals which is posted on the second Thursday of every month. The aim is to start tackling your review backlog. Whether it’s an in-depth analysis of how it affected your life, one sentence stating that you only remember the ending, or that you have no recollection of reading the book at all.

In this sequel to the much-acclaimed The Colour of Magic, Rincewind, Twoflower and the many-legged luggage return to the Discworld with the help of the Octavo and overcome the attempts by the wizards of the Unseen University to capture them, and then save the Discworld from an invasion from the Dungeon Dimensions.I didn’t mean to make the first two books in the Discworld series long lost reviews, but I found them on audio and was reading them one after the other (intent on charging through the series) and then got stuck when I couldn’t source book three. Then of course life happened and here we are trying to remember the plot and my opinion of it.
I read this in 2019 and recall absolutely none of it except maybe Rincewind and Twoflower on a raft/boat near a waterfall which may or may not be the very first scenes or the very final scene. I have a lot of Discworld to get through so I’m not in a mind to reread it, though it is reasonably short.
I know people say the Rincewind ones aren’t the best, and I recall it being a bit boring. I don’t remember anything to even rate it, which also feels like a sign I should reread it. For now I will give it three stars, since that’s what I did the first time, and if I reread it I will reassess and adjust my rating. Maybe I could be sacrilegious and watch the movie?
