Even weirder than Wicked. Didn't even finish it, because I didn't even care.

Second novel in the Wicked Years quartet, fallowing Liir. Watch Liir through his life and growth into finding himself and the struggles along the way. This second novel deals with govermental abuse, societal control, conflict, and personal struggles. This is impactful esspecially in the U. S. In 2025. While thought provoking and important, personally it lacked the emotional connection with the characters.
