Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

Why? Why would you have a male narrating this? It makes no sense and just sounds weird.

Narration
Reviewed: 12-16-24
The narrator sounds like digital voice. If I hadn’t gotten this on sale I would have returned it. They should have let Elizabeth Evans, the original narrator, do the narration. The voices of Micah and Hunt should have been switched also.
The digital voice is so off putting.

Story
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Story
I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course there’s a catch—all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

Okay, they did not cast the heirs correctly. The guy that did Seth should have been Darius and the guy that did Darius should have been Caleb. Honestly the original narrators would have been great additions.

3 books of Miranda’s voice. It almost blew out my eardrums. I think I would have liked the character of the narrator hadn’t made her sound so whiney and high pitched.

Confirmed bachelor Max Sterling isn’t into rescuing damsels in distress, but when the very tempting Hailey Ellison needs his help, there’s only one thing for him to do: step in and pose as her loving fiancé. Except there is nothing fake about his attraction to her, or how much he wants her beneath him in his bed, moaning his name. But what starts as a sexy, flirty, temporary engagement quickly becomes something more serious that neither one ever anticipated.

Abrupt
Reviewed: 01-17-24
One day I would love to give Carly Phillips a better rating but her abrupt endings are killing me. Loved this one. It’s such a fun and flirty fling. I loved that it wasn’t the same old ex-fat girl overhears the hot guy telling some chick that he loved Hailey even though she’d been fat. Max never thinks of Hailey as fat. She’s a 14, that’s not fat, that’s average. Plus Max was always feeding her or asking her if she wanted more. How can you not love him? Again, I’d love to say 5⭐️ but wtf was that ending? Even with the epilogue, wtf?

Pretty good overall. I wish there was more emphasis on the Bollywood aspect. It dragged a bit in the middle but the narrator really brought everything to life and rounded out the story nicely. Spice 🌶️🌶️

I respect the hell out of her and Kinzinger. She called out every single traitor using their own words (in their own voices). McCarthy and his ilk are absolute pussies, which was noted in this book. I never would have thought that Liz Cheney would be funny, but she had me laughing. This was easily a 5⭐️ book.
