So a prequel of a prequel? Is there really enough story in her being dragged around the Quadling region as the daughter of a missionary for another full novel?

There’s plenty of story to mine for the right paycheck. And I suspect this one was hefty.

“So much happened before Elphaba dropped into middle school”

“But none of it was important enough to mention in the other book about her life, or the following three books about her legacy.”

What the hell kind of prequel? The novel Wicked begins before Elphaba is born.

I wonder of him working on this is why the last book in the Another Day (Wicked Sequel) trilogy, which just came out in fall 2023--a year after the second book--was so bad. It read like a first draft that got thrown to the publisher before any revisions or edits.

The ‘Another Day’ books are greatly inferior to the original three ‘Wicked Years’ books.
