Son of a Witch
Son of a Witch is the sequel to Maguire’s wonderful book Wicked. It is the story of what happened to Liir, the son (probably) of Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West). While Wicked had a very broad scope where you were always aware of the world around Elphaba full of political, social and religious depth,Son of a Witch generally has a much narrower view, largely focusing just on Liir and the people around him with little concern for the broader picture. The result of that shift is that readers have much less of a grasp of what is going on in Oz and why certain things might be happening. The political situation is extremely fuzzy and unclear and the religious issues are much harder to understand. This kind of hurts what could have been a very interesting book.
