Son Of A Witch

So, yesterday was hectic, flooding made my trip to be bookstore take a very long detour...  So alas, no blog post yesterday!

Today, however, I decided to touch on the sequel to the ever popular "Wicked". 

Son of a Witch was really a good read.  Much tougher, however, than wicked was.  Mostly the story is slow, which makes it harder to not put it aside and move on.  The story, however, provides much needed information for the next installment, and therefore a necessary read.  The story follows Liir, the young boy whom Elphaba departed from the mauntery and took to Kiamo Ko with her.  Liir has no more knowledge of where he came from than anyone else does, and sets out after the witches demise to find out and make a life for himself.  He gets side tracked several times along the way, but his main goal is to find the girl who may be his half sister, Nor.  Nor was arrested and imprisoned, leading Liir to join the Emerald Guard looking for her.

As previously stated, the story is slow, but I can pretty much tell you that if you do not read this one, come A Lion Among Men, you will wish you had!
