Book Reviews of Son of a Witch: Volume Two in The Wicked Years
Book Review: Finding Your Roots
Summary: 5 Stars
Having myself had a life experience of wondering where I came from, I could totally relate to the main character of this book, as he continued throughout his life to wonder about the nature of his maternity and what he was meant to be.
I loved "Wicked" and HAD to get more of the story, and was very satisfied with what "Son of a Witch" had to offer in the ongoing recreation of Oz.
I look forward to more from Maguire in the future in this ongoing saga. Whenever I finish a Maguire work I am always hungry for more, "Son of a Witch" was no different, I moved right along into the third volume. If you are a "Wicked" fan, I am sure that you will too.
Liir's character develops ethically and psychologically very nicely throughout the story, when you finish reading this you will be yearning to find out what happens next to our main character. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Wicked, you will not be disappointed.

Bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully, Liir is shattered in spirit as well as in form. At the Cloister of Saint Glinda the silent novice Candle tends to him, willing him back to life with her unusual musical gifts. 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 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.
