A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire
✭✭✭ 1/2 (out of 5 stars)
I really like Gregory Maguire. I love how he plays with his words when he writes, and I love some of the thoughts and concepts he comes up with. This book was another great addition to the Wicked series. We dug a little deeper into the story, learned about a few more important characters, and gave them a new mission (he totally left it way open for another book, and I am looking forward to it). I loved getting another glimpse into his twisty Oz.

I read Wicked and I had mixed emotions. First of all, Gregory Maguire is freakin hilarious, and his writing has an underlying dark humor to it. Although, it was a bit much for me all the politics and religion talk--got a little wordy. But I guess that's to be expected when you create an entire country! It sure did help knowing the story behind Oz when I saw Wicked.
Does this book come after "Son of a Witch"? I haven't read that one yet...
I know exactly what you mean, I read Wicked a couple times before I could get past all the mumbo jumbo and get the real meat of the story.
Yes, Son of the Witch is 2nd, and this book 3rd. I find that as the story continues with each book, he is a little easier to understand.
