This could have easily been sent in an email.

I really had hope that I would love this a bit more than Wicked (which I recommend reading before reading Elphie as it mentions quite a lot of what happens there) but alas, I almost cried of boredom.

The only part I enjoyed somewhat was seeing Elphaba in her teenage years and seeing what was happening in this book and connecting it to Wicked. We also see how people always made their own truths the reality of a situation and having strangers believe that truth instead of the TRUTH TRUTH, which is a common theme in Wicked. But that’s truly where it ends.

Everything else feels neverending, the writing is again choppy and nothing is cohesive to one another. Nessa gets on my las nerve, as well as Shell. Don’t even get me started on the father. 😤

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC in exchange of an honest review!
