Yeah, due to the reading I have to do for courses I've been thrown behind with my goal of fifty non-reading list novels, but I did start:
12.
Son of a Witch, by Gregory Maguire.
How he could actually write a second book with Elphaba gone is a complete mystery to me. There is no point of the whole world after her death, as even the main character of this novel seems to realise. It's like a sequel to Hamlet or something. It just doesn't work. Liir really doesn't do a lot to save the story, either, he is aggravating, most of all, and his self-pity at his own shortcomings are not exactly an interesting read.
