The title, taken from a poem by John Milton, in which it refers to dancing lightly with extravagance. The events of the novel are a direct continuation of those in the preceding book, The Colour of Magic.

Review of 'The Light Fantastic' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
2nd book of 131,636,128 in the Discworld series, The Light Fantastic maintains a similar humor style to the first one, but does a much better job of weaving a coherent, compelling narrative.
Instead of characters wandering around randomly for the sake of wacky hijinx, there's now an overarching story, which causes many wacky hijinx to ensue.
A marked improvement over the first, and I look forward to more of the series.
