This book was so hard to get through. I listened to the audiobook, if I'd been reading this I would have had to make it as DNF. Thankfully the audiobook allowed me to have this on in the background on my work commute and while I WFH.
This read like a history book, very matter of fact and very boring.
The book seemed to really focus on the parents and nanny while Elphaba was a child. The lack of speech really added to the history book feel which I hated.
I really don't know what this added to the series. It kinda makes me feel that the author was just trying to get more money from the popularity of the film.
