Son of a Witch

My recent read is Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire. I loved this sequel to the famous book Wicked: the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West: a novel. I was very attached to the character of Elphaba in Wicked, so I was able to continue her story through her son, Liir. Other mysteries and loose ends were cleared up in Son. This sequel seemed more of a series novel to me than Wicked. I felt Wicked carried strong social commentary. Son of a Witch is a must read for any Elphaba fan, but I wouldn't read it without reading Wicked first. Wicked was recently made into a Broadway musical.
