Son of a Witch
Finished listening to Gregory Maguire's Son of a Witch. I guess I foolishly thought I would get the happy ending missing in the first book Wicked. No such luck at least for the main character Elphaba from the first book. I'm still extremely confused on how the book evolved into the play. Either way I'm still drawn to this series for some reason. The second book about the son of Elphaba was just as odd as the first. It also continued to remind me of the Harry Potter series in some subtle ways.
The book is a bit more gruesome then the first in describing a dragon problem across OZ. There are several images I could have fast forwarded through and still been okay with what was going on. The ending however was more optimistic then I had anticipated which has made me want to read the next one in the series A Lion Among Men though I have no idea what more needs to be said about the world of OZ.
