Book: Son of a Witch
Jun. 17th, 2011 10:58 amI didn't like this book as much as the previous one, "Wicked." And it was primarily because of the main character, Liir.
( I am full of spoilers )
At first I didn't like the book because it didn't seem to have as much connection to the original Oz books. (Aside from one brief encounter on the road where Liir meets Tip!) But after reading something like 85% of the book and NOTHING happening, only to have mary sue nonsense for the final few chapters, I decided I didn't like this book because it wasn't a good book.
Other people must have liked it though. A third book was written about the cowardly lion. I am hesitant to read that one because I feel it will be a lot like this one. Can much happen in a story about a lion too afraid to do anything? And I learned a fourth book is currently being written! I probably won't finish this series. Life's too short and there are too many books out there to waste time on the bad ones.
I am not sure what I will read next. I want something light. Maybe a lemony snicket story? I'll have to see what my library has.
