In Sourcery, did you enjoy ...
... the irreverent, clever humor and satirical take on fantasy tropes?
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
If you loved the laugh-out-loud wit and razor-sharp satire of Sourcery, you'll delight in Good Omens. The dynamic between Aziraphale the angel and Crowley the demon is as hilarious and irreverent as anything Rincewind and the Luggage get up to, and the book is packed with clever wordplay, playful jabs at the apocalypse, and a uniquely British sense of humor.
... an ensemble of quirky, memorable characters who bumble through magical chaos?
The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett
You enjoyed following Rincewind, Conina, and the rest as their fates intertwine in Sourcery. In The Colour of Magic, you'll meet an equally delightful cast, including the hapless tourist Twoflower and the ever-faithful (and bitey) Luggage, all caught in a whirlwind of magical misadventures and wild worldbuilding.
... lighthearted, whimsical magic and fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously?
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
If you enjoyed the playful, tongue-in-cheek magic of Sourcery—from talking hats to accidental spells—you’ll love The Princess Bride. Goldman's tale is filled with eccentric wizards, miracle men, and impossible feats, all delivered with a wink and a nudge.
... unexpected twists and absurd, surprising developments at every turn?
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Sourcery is full of wild, unpredictable moments—like Rincewind's accidental heroics or the literal end of the world. If you loved that, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a must-read. Every chapter brings a new, mind-bending surprise, from the destruction of Earth to encounters with paranoid androids and mice who rule the universe.
... an elaborate, richly imagined magical world with its own history and rules?
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Were you fascinated by the Discworld's detailed magical institutions, its ancient prophecies, and the sense of a living, breathing world in Sourcery? Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell offers an immersive dive into an alternate England where magicians debate, duel, and shape the fate of a nation. The meticulous worldbuilding will sweep you away.
