Taken from http://weread.com/review/Son+of+a+Witch+%28Wicked+Years%29/2261999
The best-selling sequel to "Wicked" continues to the story of Liir, the illegitimate son of Elphaba (also known as the Wicked Witch of the West). An account of his adventures in trying to find his long lost half-sister, his near-death experience after being attacked by dragons, winning and losing love, and trying to find his place in the world.
Surprisingly, I found this sequel better to the original "Wicked", although, I must say I'm more partial to the musical version of it than the actual novel version. The only disappointing thing with this novel is that it ended so abruptly, and still left you with the unanswered questions from the 1st book.
I hope to get the chance to read the 3rd book, "A Lion Among Men"; hopefully, all the loose pieces will start to fit together in that one.
