About this ebook

In this captivating New York Times bestseller, beloved author Gregory Maguire returns to the land of Oz and introduces us to Liir, an adolescent boy last seen hiding in the shadows of the castle after Dorothy did in the Witch. Is he really Elphaba's son? He has her broom and her cape—but what of her powers? 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?

Ratings and reviews

Was not as good as the first but still enjoyable. His tale is inspiring and fun to see played out. It gives you a look into oz in more detail and a bit more of an understanding of the wicked witch. I do note that my heart did go out to liir. I am totally looking forward to finding out more about him and others...

If you are thinking about buying this book I highly recommend it. I thought Wicked was far too slow of a read and found myself forcing to finish because I enjoyed the ideas of the book and wanted to see where it ended. I didn't have that problem with this book.

All punctuation is mising from this e-book. Very disappointed.
