A very helpful review, and I can tell you believe what you are writing. I have always felt a little wary of actually reading these novels, and I will really have to consider my other fantasy options before ever picking up Wicked.
Quite an example of the 'shared world' spec-fic subgenre, too. I suppose there are more Baum/Oz-related books than those based in Pratchett's worlds, eh?
