A few years ago a friend loaned me Wicked. I would almost say that book changed my life. I have been waiting and waiting for Son of a Witch to come out in paperback to I could (afford) read it.

And it was worth the wait. It is not as good as Wicked, but it has an interesting story. Liir is a compelling character who makes believable choices in his quest to find Nor (Fieryo’s daughter).

I didn’t love this book as much as Wicked, but it is a worthy followup. However, Gregory Maguire better write a third story in this series.
