The musical is (in my opinion) at heart, a sweet story about female friendship. There are, of course, subplots concerning racism and propaganda, but to me, E&G's relationship is pretty much the meat of the story.
I've always considered Fiyero to be pretty lame. I dunno.  |
If you LOVED that the musical was a fluffy fairy tale DO NOT read the book, you will hate it. If you enjoyed the political/propaganda of the subplot, you'll love the book, because that's about the only part that stayed true.
