But he definitely gets better as he goes along.
I do feel you'll miss out on things if you don't read in order. And you'll find out things you should not know till later on. So really published order is best. I liked The Colour of Magic. And since a lot of us have said it gets better there's no reason not read in published order. I do think that arc reading is just going to spoil the series overall.
