**For Wicked review, go to the first Wicked book on my page**

**Son of a Witch**

This book, "Son of a Witch," consists of 329 pages. It received a rating of ⭐️⭐️⭐️.

After Dorothy killed the Witch, Liir hid in the shadows of the castle. Left for dead in a gully, the teen was shattered both in spirit and body. However, the silent novice Candle tended to him at the Cloister of Saint Glinda and willed him back to life with her music. There are many questions that arise. What dark force left Liir in such a condition? Is he truly Elphaba's son? He has her broom and cape, but what about her powers? Can he find his supposed half-sister, Nor, who was last seen in the forbidding prison Southstairs? Can he fulfill the last wishes of a dying princess? In an Oz under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up?

The quote “Not everyone is born a witch or a saint. Not everyone is born talented or crooked or blessed; some are born definite in no particular at all. We are a fountain of shimmering contradictions, most of us. Beautiful in the concept, if we’re lucky, but frequently tedious or regrettable as we flesh ourselves out.” really makes one think.

I was very glad that I read this book and was happy to be back in Oz. I enjoyed the beginning and the end, but the middle was rather dry. The pacing was the only issue I had with this book, and it was quite a struggle to get through the middle chunk. Nevertheless, I knew I wanted to keep reading to find out what happens in the end, and I'm glad I did. I seem to have a struggle with some of Maguire’s books feeling dry in certain parts. So far, the only book that I didn't feel that way about was "Wicked," although I do know that some people think it's dry too. I loved Liir and how he was written, and being inside his head. Traveling to Oz with Liir was great, and I loved slipping into his world. I also LOVED the end, and I hope that in the third Wicked Years book, the ending is addressed.

The Tale of the Wicked Witch of the West from Her Point of View

This book titled "The Tale of the Wicked Witch of the West from Her Point of View" was truly a remarkable read. It presented a unique perspective on the well-known character of the wicked witch. From her point of view, we got to see a side of her that was often overlooked in the traditional stories.

The narrative was engaging and interesting, drawing the reader in from the very beginning. It delved into the witch's thoughts, feelings, and motives, making her a more complex and relatable character. The author's writing style was vivid and descriptive, painting a clear picture of the witch's world and the events that took place.

In addition to being interesting, the book was also mildly amusing. There were several humorous moments that added a lighthearted touch to the story. These moments helped to break up the tension and made the book even more enjoyable to read. Overall, this book was a great choice for anyone looking for a fresh take on a classic tale. It was well-written, engaging, and entertaining, and I would highly recommend it to others.

I don't think I ultimately managed to finish "Son of a Witch". "Wicked" was actually rather good, considering what it was. However, the language employed in it sometimes made it quite challenging to fathom what was happening.

It took me an incredibly long time to make my way through it. And usually, I'm a relatively fast reader. So, I suppose it's simply not the kind of book that suits my taste.

Maybe if the language had been a bit more straightforward, I might have been more inclined to continue and complete "Son of a Witch". But as it stands, I just couldn't seem to get fully engaged with it.

Nevertheless, I can appreciate that others might find these books highly enjoyable and captivating. It's just that for me, they didn't quite hit the mark.

Going into the book, I had a very open mind.

I was excitedly looking forward to reading it before I saw the movie. However, that excitement quickly turned to dust.

I was not expecting it to be so vulgar and filled with constant questions that were not clearly answered.

The sheer idea of the book was truly imaginative. I am rarely at a loss as to how things are going to unfold in a book like I was in this one. This is quite a feat considering I know The Wizard of OZ well.

I love a good backstory, but for many reasons, it definitely could have been a better experience for me.

Perhaps the author could have spent more time developing the characters and clarifying the plot.

Overall, while the book had its moments of creativity, it ultimately fell short of my expectations.

I hope that future works by this author will be more refined and engaging.

Loved it!

The author has truly outdone themselves in creating extremely vivid images. It's as if the words on the page come to life and paint a detailed picture in the reader's mind. Each description is so precise and full of detail that it allows for a complete and immersive experience. The vivid images not only enhance the overall enjoyment of the piece but also make it easier to understand and connect with the story or message being conveyed. Whether it's a beautiful landscape, a complex character, or an intense action scene, the author's ability to create these vivid images is truly remarkable. It leaves the reader with a lasting impression and a desire to read more of their work.

Overall, the vivid images created by the author are a major highlight of this piece and add a great deal of value to the reading experience.

I have just finished reading "Wicked".

It was an incredibly engaging and thought-provoking book. The story took me on a wild ride through a world that was both familiar and yet completely different.

I was captivated by the characters and their complex relationships. The author did an excellent job of creating a rich and detailed universe.

Now that I'm done with "Wicked", I'm looking forward to reading "Son" later. I think it will be just as good, if not better.

I'm excited to see where the story will take me and what new adventures and challenges the characters will face.

I'm sure it will be another great read that I won't be able to put down.

I have finally finished this book. It was truly one of the most excruciating reads that I have ever endured. I pushed through it with great difficulty. I can definitely say that I will not be reading the others in the series. It didn't even begin to get remotely interesting until approximately two-thirds of the way through. There were so many dull and overly detailed descriptions about every little unimportant thing. The entire tone of the book is just so dark and uninspiring. It fails to evoke any emotions within me for any of the characters. And let's not forget the sexist undertones that are present throughout the story. It's really a pity that such a book exists.

The second book of the three in the "Wicked: Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West" series is truly captivating.

It was a remarkably quick read for me, mainly because my craving for the story intensified after finishing the first one. I simply sped right through this book without hesitation. The ending was completely unexpected, which is a testament to Mr. Macguire's genius. He has masterfully repainted the heart and soul of The Wicked Witch of The West.

Her life unfolds in numerous ways, regardless of her intentions. This amazing book is crafted with precise and vivid imaginary details, a true hallmark of a creative genius. It takes the reader on a journey through a world that is both familiar and yet entirely new, filled with rich characters and a storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.

Whether you are a fan of the original "Wizard of Oz" or simply a lover of great literature, this series is a must-read.

This book is a great read for those who have a penchant for this genre.

It can be likened to the renowned "Lord of the Rings" series, yet it is presented in a more accessible manner. Similarly, it shares some of the charm and allure of the beloved "Harry Potter" books.

As a form of entertainment, it doesn't overly complicate things, making it an enjoyable and轻松的 read.

Despite its simplicity, I found myself completely engrossed and unable to put it down.

The story weaves a captivating narrative that draws you in from the very beginning and keeps you hooked until the very end.

Whether you're a fan of fantasy or just looking for a good book to pass the time, this one is definitely worth checking out.

You'll be glad you did.

I read this book several years ago.

At that time, I remember having the thought that it was a decent read, yet it didn't possess the same level of allure as "Wicked".

I was completely unaware that it was part of a series, and perhaps it wasn't even a series back then.

Now, I find myself wondering if it would be worthwhile to read it again.

Moreover, I'm curious as to whether the other books in the series, if there are any, are any better.

Maybe upon rereading, I'll discover new aspects and details that I missed the first time around.

And perhaps the subsequent books will offer a more engaging and captivating story.

Only by giving it another chance and exploring further can I truly determine if this series is one that I should invest more time in.

Wicked: I absolutely loved this!

Originally, I had a strong desire to see the Broadway musical but unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity. So, my kind brother got me the book instead.

Since I had only seen the movie "The Wizard of Oz", I had no other influence on my thoughts regarding what to expect or anticipate, except for the fact that she dies in the end.

I took my time reading this, partly because of my pregnancy, but finally, I finished it. And shortly after that, I also managed to finish "Son of a Witch".

Son of a Witch: I really loved it too. However, a few dialogues left me a bit confused and the ending left me with a strong desire to know more!

It made me eager to explore what might happen next in this fascinating world that the author has created.

The storylines and characters in both books are so engaging that they keep pulling me in and making me want to read on and on.

I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any more installments in this series to satisfy my curiosity.

I'm going to have to wait until I digest Son of a Witch a little more until I can review this book completely.

This novel seems to be a complex and thought-provoking piece of work. It has introduced me to a new world and a cast of interesting characters.

The story's plot twists and turns keep me on the edge of my seat, eager to know what will happen next.

However, there are also some aspects of the book that I need to further explore and understand.

For example, the author's writing style is quite unique, and it takes some time to get used to.

Additionally, the themes presented in the book are deep and require careful consideration.

I believe that with more time and reflection, I will be able to provide a more comprehensive and in-depth review of Son of a Witch.

Until then, I will continue to immerse myself in this fascinating world and see where the story takes me.
