Violet reviewed Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett
The peak of the Rincewind series; a story of the messy art of war
5 stars
A "wizzard" from a city that isn't quite London materializes on a continent that isn't quite China, where a revolution is brewing. In trying to avoid conflict, Rincewind's typical brownian motion sets off a butterfly effect that culminates in a battle between two leaders who could not be more different: a warlord who drives his pawns in front of him and an aging barbarian who leads his long-experienced comrades on the battlefield. But Rincewind has one more surprise for the combatants--as much a surprise to him as it is to them! Maybe he can finally fulfill his desire for...potatoes?
I read this book in its original paperback release, and re-read it so many times it fell apart. This is my favorite instalment in the Rincewind series.
