Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire

adventurous challenging dark emotional inspiring mysterious reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Transforming Oz from a beloved children's story utopia into a complex, richly flawed political commentary, and converting the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda into two of fiction's defining characters, Wicked is a juggernaut and one of my new favourite books of all-time!
