Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Sourcery is read by Colin Morgan (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'It's vital to remember who you really are.... it isn't a good idea to rely on other people or things to do it for you, you see. They always get it wrong.'
An eighth son of an eighth son is born, a wizard squared, a source of magic. A sourcerer.
Unseen University, the Discworld's most magical establishment, has finally got its wish: the emergence of a wizard more powerful than ever before. You'd think they would have been a little more careful what they wished for....
As the sourcerer takes over the University and sets his sights on the rest of the world, only one wizard manages to escape his influence. Unfortunately for everyone, it's Rincewind.
Once again the cowardly wizard must embark on a quest: to deliver a precious artefact - the very embodiment of magic itself—halfway across the Disc to safety. If he doesn't make it, the death of all wizardry is at hand.
And the end of the world, depending on who you listen to.
Sourcery is the third book in the Wizards series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order. The first book in the Discworld series—The Colour of Magic—was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Colin Morgan does a fantastic performance
One of my favourite early discworld books. Colin's performance of the characters is excellent! such a range of different voices and you really get immersed in the story.

I love this version os Rincewind
I have always been a bit warey of audio books as the voices given can really change how I read the characters. Then life got busy and I was given a subscription to audible and thought hey I would spend my credits visiting a fantastic series. These books have not disappointed me at all.
the narrator gives a unique life to each character and his tone and pacing of Rincewind's dialogue is amazing. The character really came to life.
This is a really fun story full of great characters. I found myself lol often at the scrapes the characters found themselves in and the clever dialogue.

Another Terry Pratchett classic
Thank you Terry Pratchett wherever you are. I can imagine you are in a world of your own. I’ve listened to it several times just so I’ve got the storyline down pat. I love the characters that are created and when they show up as their best selves. Thank you Bill Nighy for reading the footnotes 🤭.

Fantastic!
Sourcery is a great continuaton of Rincewinds story, like other discworld books it's witty and funny despite the more seriousness of some of the chapters. It was enthralling throughout, and Colin Morgan did an absolutely incredible job of narrating the story; he gave a great amount of personality to each and every character, and really made the book come alive.
This is a great audio book, if you've enjoyed any of the other discworld books you'll probably love this one too.

Well done Colin
New to Pratchett, I’m listening to the Wizards and Witches series, switching between to keep things fresh. Both narrators are wonderful, but Colin Morgan is working with thinner fare. He does really well. The characters in the Witches series are just more human, warm and funny.
