Book 5 Sorcery is part of a series of 36 books written by author Terry Pratchett. It each book is different but they all take place on a disk world which is carried on top of a giant tortoise named great A Tuin. On top of him stands to giant elephants who hold up the disk world. Rincewind who is one of the characters in the book is also is in book 2 along with death aka grim reaper and the infamous luggage.

Luggage was a character developed by terry after he had seen a woman taking her luggage from the airport and it seemed almost lifelike to him an so in this story he has got legs and it can give expressions.It always follows its master which happens to be rincewind the Magician.

Sorcery has a lot of funny characters in it like nijel a trainee barbarian hero who carries a book with
him called how to be a barbarian hero in two weeks. He is not your typical hero and won't go after bad guys he will try talk to them in a civil manner by saying I say that's a bad idea to go and beat him up if you do i will have to resort to giving you a good smack round the head.

He also has to have like a stage name like the destroyer.

There is also another great character and her name is coina who is like a female cutthroat who someday dreams of being a barb a but men around her are so scared of what she can do with knives that they will end up with more than just a hair cut they might even end up dead.

Rincewind is a wizard who is not very good at his job he runs in the face of danger and can't really do very good magic in fact the only way people can tell that he is a wizard at all are his clothes that are a big give away and his long pointy hat that says wizard which he misspells.


Story
