Book Review of Son Of A Witch (Wicked Years, Bk 2)

Son Of A Witch (Wicked Years, Bk 2)


This book was so disappointing. I will start out by saying that I fell in love with Wicked and adore the whole story. This one, not so much. Liir is an idiot and it gets ridiculously irritating. This book, well, I finished it quickly because I wanted to get to A Lion Among Men. As another review stated, I got into it on the LAST page. The title of the last chapter enticed me throughout the read and I awaited reading that chapter. "No Place Like It" definitely referenced Wizard of Oz. However, that chapter was like maybe 5 pages long & ended when it got good.
Too many events take place in Liir's life and none of them are substantial or interesting. For Elphaba's plot, she was clearly growing, maturing, and learning more throughout her story.
Liir, however, I've still yet to figure out.
