To my surprise, we're following the honorable maid Jellia Jamb. I thought we'd see more inside Dorothy's twisted little mind, or Glinda's mysterious ambitions. Instead, we're looking at the early days of Dorothy's takeover and how she joined Wicked.
Nox is everywhere, that handsome son-of-a-gun. But I definitely do feel like he's just being shoe-horned into being the male lead for every girl in here. He's only functioning as a contact with Wicked, nothing interesting. Nothing that would even really warrant his appearance here; his entire role in this book could have been relegated to another character, a background character or something. Feels completely unnecessary.
A note, that I'm working on reading these books by publication (when I can get ahold of them). For books sharing the same year, I've been reading the novellas first and then the actual books. So far, I feel like it's worked in my favor.
