Elphie: A Wicked Childhood is certainly worth reading for diehard fans of the series (like myself), but the Elphaba prequel struggles because it doesn’t really know where it belongs — which is an ironically meta failing, given the story itself. Gregory Maguire’s latest addition to the Wicked Years series will feel familiar in style to anyone who has read the rest, although it feels significantly more like the later books than the original.
