This sequel to "Wicked" was good, but did too much backtracking to earlier times. Some of it was a little tedious. They really kept you guessing through the whole thing whether or not Elfaba was his mother. The ending was very good.

... it really is too bad that every story can't be good to a given individual, but then I am reminded of The Library and Harrison Bergeron, The Judge and Alice, and so many others (Herbert Stencil and Jesus come to mind) who I have met in…

This book was very confusing to begin with, and that confusion returned every so often. I read Wicked quite a while ago, so I assumed at least some of my confusion was because I'd forgotten what had happened in that book. But after reading…

I enjoyed Wicked, but the sequel was just painful to finish. The main character, Liir, is unlikable and never seems to develop at all.

This sequel to Wicked was every bit as good as the first book. I enjoyed escaping to Oz -- albeit a very different Oz than Judy Garland's! - this summer.

This book was pretty good but it started off a little slow. The last 100 pages got good though and I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
