Everything that a volume in this series should be. :)

I'm seeing a lot of reviews saying how disappointed they are in this book in the context of the series. I haven't read the rest of the series, and as a read-alone this book was phenomenal, if slightly confusing.

Some had said they disliked this book. I admit, it was more difficult to get into the story at the beginning (as I seem to be with every of maguire's books) and sometimes I would feel confused when he would switch between character's stories, but overall I enjoyed it. The last parts of the book were intriguing to me, and kept me interested. I guess this is a book you either enjoy or hate. I enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next part.

At first I was very disappointed in this book. Almost as much as Wicked. Maguire is a wonderful, if lengthy and sometimes mundane, author. The story of the Cowardly Lion was much less than what I expected. I'm not even sure if I can put into words how I feel about this book except that it took 3 months to read.

I did not find this as engaging as the first 2. I felt less connected to the Lion as a character, and saw less of a connection to the plot of the other novels. The ending, however, was very satisfying.

I really enjoyed Wicked but after reading Son of Witch and waiting to actually learn something, this book was just a waste of time. I now know more about a 2 characters from the 1st book I didn't care about and nothing more about the characters I want to know about. It was very disappointing.
