This one was my least favorite of the series, the second being my favorite. I have to admit I was hoping the ending would go differently…

The third in Gregory Maguire's Another Day trilogy, The Witch of Maracoor follows Rain, the green granddaughter of Elphaba Thropp, still suffering from amnesia.

The story picks up as Rain departs from her friends who fled the city under siege. Rain journeys across the country, facing her inner demons. She must ultimately make a decision that determines her fate. She regains her memories and returns to Oz with a reassembled Grimmerie — a powerful book Rain lost. Upon her return, Rain decides to reconnect with her father and Ozma — the latter who had previously been a love interest to Rain, abet in another form as the boy Tip.

The final book in the series brings Rain full circle as she faces the emotions she avoided in [b:Out of Oz|10594929|Out of Oz (The Wicked Years, #4)|Gregory Maguire|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1370992585l/10594929._SY75_.jpg|15502514]. This is a classic hero's journey told in an adjacency to the Oz mythos and even the Rain character (through amnesia). This makes it serve as both an interesting read for those who are familiar with the Wicked Years series, as well as ones unfamiliar.

After spending 2 books in Maracoor it was nice to see Rain attack her past and finally face her demons back in Oz. What a phenomenal wrap up to Rain’s story. Hope we get to see Cossy again!
