À propos de cet audio

 Ten years after the publication of Wicked, beloved novelist Gregory Maguire returns at last to the land of Oz. There he introduces us to Liir, an adolescent boy last seen hiding in the shadows of the castle after Dorothy did in the Witch. Bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully, Liir is shattered in spirit as well as in form. But he is tended at the Cloister of Saint Glinda by the silent novice called Candle, who wills him back to life with her musical gifts.

What dark force left Liir in this condition? Is he really Elphaba's son? He has her broom and her cape, but what of her powers? Can he find his supposed half-sister, Nor, last seen in the forbidding prison, Southstairs? Can he fulfill the last wishes of a dying princess? In an Oz that, since the Wizard's departure, is under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up?

For the countless fans who have been dazzled and entranced by Maguire's Oz, Son of a Witch is the rich reward they have awaited so long.

Not a big fan of the author’s reading. The story is good though. Would recommend.

Good listen overall.

Definitely one of the better ones out there. Gregory Maguire spins a fascinating tale in the Land of Oz and does a fantastic job narrating the the novel. it is very enjoyable. I do wish that the audiobook was split into chapters and not just sections, but if that's my only complaint it still gets 5 stars in my books

Great audiobook

I really hate to say it but Gregory Maguire is a terrible narrator. I couldn’t finish the book (I returned it) because I couldn’t stand his reading, and I can’t even tell if it’s a good story or not because he’s so distracting. I loved Wicked and don’t want to bash Maguire, but this is an honest review.

Might be good with another narrator
