A review by manda_reads
I Am Elphaba (Universal Pictures Wicked) by Mary Man-Kong

lighthearted

3.0

This book provides readers with a simple origin story of Elphaba. The book details her character traits, as well as her short-lived rivalry and subsequent friendship with Glinda. Elphaba additionally discovers how to use her magical powers for the betterment of the town. She decides to leave Emerald City to attempt to defy gravity. Overall, this book was a quick read. It felt like the same story but from Elphaba's perspective instead. I think the book could have explained more about Elphaba. I completed the book to gain insight into the characters before I watch the movie later this month.
