Last weekend, I purchased 2 Gregory Maguire books: Mirror Mirror and A Lion Among Men. (The latter of which is the third book in the Wicked series). I'm really excited to read them; I'm a huge fan of Gregory Maguire and greatly enjoyed Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Wicked, and Son of a Witch. I love the way he writes about fairy tales. (Okay technically Wicked is based on The Wizard of Oz which is not a fairy tale, but it has fairy tale esque traits). I love how he twists these lighter stories and puts a new spin on them, making them feel more realistic and a little more dark than usual.
I'll probably read Mirror Mirror first, since I feel the need to reread Wicked and Son of a Witch before going on to A Lion Among Men.
