Just past the halfway mark, Sourcery begins to look more like Pratchett's current works. I don't think he has two characters fall for each other as quickly as Conina and Nijel do here, though.
Yet, things are starting to come together now. The book's major plot arcs have become clear, a handful of new characters was introduced, and things are actually happening in disparate places. These elements super charge the book and give it a true Pratchett feel.
Otherwise, the only thing of especial notes is that Nijel, the scrawny barbarian in training, reminds me of the old and frail Junglo from Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. Simply in their matching description, and each of their - apparently shared - idiosyncrasies.
