Was he the Witches Son? The title would have you believe it, the fact is that Elphaba didn't know for certain, and she certainly never treated Liir as her son, more of an inconvenience.This book starts with the discovery of a young mans broken body found in the middle of no-where. He is taken to a...
(See my review of Wicked for the beginning of the story) After finishing Wicked, I immediately began Son of a Witch and was unable to put it down. Another absolutely brilliant book from Gregory Maguire. I cannot wait to "sink my teeth" into the rest of the novels. An amazing writer.
I love the Wicked series books for the fact that apparently they are "NOTHING LIKE THE PLAY!" to the point that it angers fans of the stage version. If you have time, read some of the one-star reviews for the first book (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37442.Wicked). It's hilarious how mad these ...

The book, his first, became a best seller, then was adapted into a hit Broadway musical, Wicked. with Son of a Witch, Maguire returns to Oz, picking...
A caravan traveling through an isolated part of the Land of Oz comes across a corpse. This isn’t the first they’ve seen on their journey, but the others have been “scraped,” the faces of the dead removed with surgical precision.Except this body isn’t dead. Yet. Though badly beaten, Liir Thropp, a ...
After finishing the book and peeking at other reviews here on GoodReads I was suprised to see that so many people hate both the Wicked novel and Son of a Witch with such passion! I found both highly enjoyable reading. The writing might be a little disjointed, but I never liked streamlined one-though...
