Review: Wicked was a long slow read, Son of a Witch really picked up and had some interesting story lines, slows right back down for A Lion Among Men. The fourth book has yet to come out, but the third ended with such a cliff hanger I'll push through it. I've invested this much time into the series I have to see how it plays out.
What slows the series down is that the reader anticipates more magic, compared to the subtle undertones that Maguire uses. If you read any other Maguire books you will find that this is how all of his books are. However, this series was painful compared to the other works of Maguire's that I have read.
Rating: 4
yeah i couldn't even get through Wicked. It was just boring to me.
