This one was fun—initially it was far more intriguing and gripping than ‘Wicked’, though it did grow rather slow-paced.

Still, I enjoyed some of the war strategy, and Liir’s adventurous travels, and a look at his inner narrative, which proved rather interesting.

Elphaba was rather loved in some circles, outside of the munkinfolk and I found that sadly satisfying as well.

Honestly, I loved the ending and it made me feel a NEED to read on into this series. I’d been waffling right up until that ending.

Really, really great, almost sounded like full cast!
Worth sticking around for the author interview afterwards also!
