Well, I always knew that Orson Scott Card practiced the same religion as me, but his Homcoming series really underscores that fact. ^^;;; I checked out the first volume, and was thumbing through the last couple of chapters while waiting for my computer to wake up, when a block of text drew my eye. Father who has visions, and a younger son who does

Aw, I liked Wicked... you and I always disagree on these things. :P Is Zoro is the only thing that we do agree on? ^_~

Nah... :P

I didn't care for the sequel that much either. I do remember that... (I read them years ago...) I actually liked his Cinderella retelling better. I'm a sucker for fairy tales. :)

Hey, we agree on Sanji, too. :P There was something else that came to mind, but I can't remember now . . .

I suppose I've gotten so used to fantasy series where the next book wraps up all the loose ends from the previous. I suppose I should have considered the fact that Wicked stood on its own for about 10 years. -_- If anything, the sequel opened up even more questions without answering the ones I had left over.

Plus, Liir was a pussy. :P I just found it impossible to like him. Heck, I liked Elphie when she was in Emerald City. I just didn't like her rapid descent into madness. It felt like she was perfectly in control of herself, and then WHAM! Nutso and dead.

Meh. I think I went in with expectations that were too high. Hype is one of the leading causes of me not liking books/movies/series. ^_~

I couldn't finish Wicked. (That's the one about the wicked witch of the west, right?)

It depressed me too much, and I had to stop about halfway through. Actually, maybe less than halfway. Which was a bummer, since several people I knew had said they loved the book. =(
