Doesn't shine

In this continuation of The Colour of Magic Rincewind and Twoflower visit a house made of sweets, play cards with Death, get chased by cultists, travel through a mysterious magic shop, and play their part in a huge cosmic event.

This part is plagued by much the same problems as its predecessor. The narrative switches back and forth between different locations and characters in an unsatisfying way. The journey of the main characters is disjointed and random, with much of it driven by the author's compulsive need to wow us with the next humorous scenario or witty parody. This time, at least, there is a big event that the narrative is moving towards. It's not much, but it makes the whole thing a bit more bearable.
