So I've loved nearly everything Gregory Maguire has put out there. His Wicked series is one of my favorites to this day. I've always loved how he took these secondary characters that we knew so little of and gave them backstories and lives for us to delve into. Sadly this book just didn't do that for me.

I expected a more exciting story involving characters we barely saw before, but all we were given was a lot of family drama that had very little to do with the plot at all. Like another reviewer said, it took me a while to get through this short novel. There was so much potential in what could have been done with this story and I wish he'd have gone another way with it.
