Customer Reviews
Obviously I picked this up because of the current hype about the Wicked film (which by the way is incredible) and expected a light hearted retelling from the Wicked Witch’s point of view. Instead I got a beautifully profound novel about good and evil.The way Maguire has written these well loved characters is seriously superb; we are never in any doubt of their motivations, each has a clear moral standard of their own which is thoughtfully explored throughout the book.The plot is equally charming and disturbing, the political landscape is well developed, and the tension oozes off every page.I loved it and would recommend it to anyone be they a Wicked fan or not.Dazzling and surprising, I plan to continue the series and immerse myself in Gregory Maguire’s beautiful writing once again.PS. It is NOT a children’s book
