If you are interested in this book because of the musical be very aware that this is extremely different, it isn't just darker, Fiyero is a side character, Glinda is a minor character, Boq has a larger role and shares only his crush on Glinda with his musical counterpart and Elphaba is no magical prodigy.
If you want a book that explores the mentality of the Wicked Witch of the West, this is for you.

The pacing is so grindingly slow and there some heavy political commentary that I just kept bouncing of it. I didn't feel like any of the characters earned any of their development either. Not my cup of tea :(
