“Maybe it doesn’t matter how we’re made, in the end; it matters only who we are”
The story of Elphaba before. A young girl growing up as the daughter of a traveling minister and the events that would shape her into who she becomes. Maguire’s prose is elegant in a way that makes you feel like you’re stilling through the woods in deep conversation with a philosophy professor. Thank you to #netgalley and #williammorrow for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
