The first time I read this book, I didnt think much of Liir himself. Hes a rather obtuse boy who becomes a rather obtuse sort of man. Subsequent readings have somewhat altered that perception of him, but on the whole, hes still very frustrating to me. I cant remember the last time I read a character who seems to despise themselves this much and thinks so little of their own value. Oh wait, yes I can it was Bella Swan!

Liir is a boy who has really suffered from not knowing the truth of his parentage and to an extent, no one fully knows that truth anyway. It becomes clear over the course of both Wicked and this novel that he is, in fact, the offspring of Elphaba and Fiyero, although even to the reader I guess were never quite sure about that either. So I can see how Liir would be so confused, and happy to just wander around wherever the wind blows him for quite some time.
