Dates Read: July to August
This is the third book in the Wicked series. The Wicked books are interesting, but are tough reads (at least they are for me). The author likes to make up words, likes to twist the words that you know and give them a different meaning or different usage, and he just likes to create a fantasy world that involves tricky names.
With that said, I enjoyed Wicked (the first book) - not as much as the play, but I did enjoy the book - and I somewhat enjoyed Son of a Witch (the second book). This book follows the life of the Lion (from the Wizard of Oz) and I had high hopes for it, but I had a lot of trouble getting into it and a lot of trouble finishing it. Perhaps the language was harder to understand or perhaps it was because I was trying to read it while traveling and moving. Either way, I did not thoroughly enjoy the book and might take a long break before trying to read another one of the author's books.
