Synopsis: Maguires work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical novels. -Los Angeles Times Book Review. Bestselling author Gregory Maguires remarkable series, The Wicked Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of the magical land of Oz. Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baums world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrest-placing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguires magnificent Oz finale-tying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.
