That’s not what OP meant. Napoleon I occupied the German states and brought a lot of reforms including the abolition of feudalism, legal reforms, and administrative efficiency including centralized state governments. He completely reshaped German state borders. As an example, this article (in German) explains how 250 independent territories were merged into 3 territories (which nowadays are one state).

I found a better version, updated.

The Colour of Magic was published in 1983, The Shepherd’s Crown was posthumously published in 2015 with up to three books published in some years. It’s an incredible life’s work.

If you liked The Colour of Magic, I’d strongly recommend continuing reading, it’s usually considered one of the weakest novels in the discworld, being the first book he wrote while still having a day job.

The good thing is, there are these sub series as you can see in the picture following specific characters with some cameos from the other series, so no need to read all of them (although recommended, because they’re great). Even within these series, every book is basically a standalone story with minimal spoilers if you read them out of order and zero confusion if you don’t remember what happened in the last book.

I’d like to add Melissa Caruso to the list of authors. I really enjoyed the first two books of the Echo Archives series. The third book will come out in November. Haven’t read her other books yet, but they’re on my list.

Very much agreed on the Broken Earth series

I mean, they mentioned they’re already reading Discworld…

I found this reading order quite helpful:

Edit, better version:

I’m reading the Tiffany Aching books right now, about to finish the whole 41 book discworld series and it’s absolutely unfair to say Discworld is an alternative to Harry Potter, it’s just so, so, so much better. Better universe, better writing, better characters - and better writer with better character.

There are probably a lot of bananas in that picture
