A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was just ok. It's corresponding tales of the lion's history and Yackle's past (she was in Wicked and Son of a Witch) as well as a current war started by Elphaba's younger brother. The ending made it seem like he's planning on write more Oz stories.

I loved Wicked and have not been impressed with Maguire's book since. This was interesting enough, but unless you're a fan of Wicked I wouldn't recommend it. If there are more books around Oz I will read them, but I've lost interest in Maguire as a writer.
