2 June 1986 | Publication | Received more positively than its predecessor as Pratchett's readership grew, and confirmed that the Discworld had sufficient momentum to sustain a series. Critics noted the increased confidence of the writing and the development of the world beyond pure parody. Commercially the two Rincewind novels together had established a sufficient readership to support the series' rapid expansion in subsequent years. |
