About this listen
What dark force left Liir in this condition? Is he really Elphaba's son? He has her broom and her cape, but what of her powers? Can he find his supposed half-sister, Nor, last seen in the forbidding prison, Southstairs? Can he fulfill the last wishes of a dying princess? In an Oz that, since the Wizard's departure, is under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up?
For the countless fans who have been dazzled and entranced by Maguire's Oz, Son of a Witch is the rich reward they have awaited so long.

An alternate history of OZ
I very much appreciated the continued story from Wicked. I did not expect to be reading from Liir's perspective, however it was very interesting to see the characters from Wicked grown and withering away. I thought Gregory Maguire did a fantastic job narrating. Many more questions are left unanswered in this book, which leaves me excited to read the rest of the series.

One-dimensional, unlikable characters, slow, and revisionist.
This book nearly completely rewrites the history established in Wicked. The characters are cliche' and one-dimensional, often without a single likeable trait. The story is slow and any sense of interest is expelled by lack of tempo. The narrator is atrocious, with awkward pauses (almost like he can't smoothly transition from one line on the page to the next), terrible character creation, and no acting ability. All in all this book has made me decide not to continue this series despite really enjoying Wicked and wondering what was next. I'll read the plots on Wikipedia and be happier for not wasting any more time.
