But please also in publication order within the series.(Alternative you can start with the "Death" Series ("Mort" and "Reaper Man") or the Witch series, or, or or, Going by Themes: Buy "Guards Guards" and "Men at Arms" and "Feet of Clay" so can find yourself as a police troup in the biggest city. I think it is best to decide for one of the following orders: But Small gods, Pyramids and Color of magic are Stand-alone books. But there are many many books in between so you will miss a few references, jokes and context. If you have only this mentioned book (at first), than you should read them in order:Ĭolour of magic, Wyred sisters, Pyramids, Small gods, Maskerade, Night Watch, Thud, Snuff.
Pterry was still coming into his own and was focusing on episodic parody rather than actual plotlines! It's a straight parody of those tropes, so while it's still very funny, it will make a lot less sense if you've never read any of the material he's parodying. The Colour of Magic – start with it if you have a solid grounding in 80s fantasy, Conan and Pern and the rest.
Night Watch, Thud and Snuff are all the second half of a different sub-series, start with Guards! Guards! before moving onto those imo Maskerade could go right after Wyrd Sisters pretty well, I think! Same sub-series Wyrd Sisters is the first in a sub-series, also a good choice! Maskerade is further through, but the main character is new to that work, so probably also decentįor excellent female core characters, more of an ensemble cast, undertones of Shakespeare parody, go Wyrd Sisters for a more philosophical satire, smaller main cast, critique of authority, go Small Gods. Small Gods and Pyramids are both stand-alone works, I think Small Gods is the stronger of the two.
