Summary
“Maguire’s work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical novels.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review

Bestselling author Gregory Maguire’s remarkable series, The Wicked Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of “the magical land of Oz.” Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baum’s world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrest—placing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguire’s magnificent Oz finale—tying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.

It was quite a journey from the first book to the final chapter of the Wicked Series. This book is pretty long and sometimes I literraly wanted to be out of Oz and its cruel and musty world . ‘Out of Oz’ is even further away from a pretty, candy like version of the original Baum’s story or broadway version, but it does bring more of the charm that the first Wicked book brought. I especially loved the references to the other Baum’s books as well as even grotuesque image of Dorothy who was never a true heroine of the story. The narrator was as always great.
