A Book Review: The Color of Magic by Terry Pratche.A Book Review: Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston.A Book Review: Dance of Death by Douglas Preston a.To Discworld series, then I highly recommend starting it at The Color The important thing is this, if you are a new comer Started the series at The Color of Magic instead of at Small Gods.
