In an Oz that, since the Wizard's departure, is under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up?

    I loved Wicked. But Son of a Witch didn't seem to have a point the way Wicked did for me. I felt emotion for Elphaba. But Liir was just not a character that I enjoyed. I felt, like Liir did, that little of anything in his adult life meant much of anything.
  • Loved It!!!

    Quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read. Dark, witty, magical, political, and even some romance.
