Thus far i am starting to get confused and a bit bored, bur i think its just a dead spot i hope if i keep reading it gets better.

Elphie and Fi having an affair how wild, here for it though. And now Fi has run into Glinda ugh i wish Ephlie and Glinda would run into eachother again. I feel like they never will how sad.

We have also met Boq who is kind of annoying he’s very persistent in his pursuit of Galinda, he tells her he won’t stop, it’s kind of obsessive in a gross way. At the same time, he is respectful so at least he’s not a creeper minus the one time he was spying on ladies undressing, but it did say he looked away when they would become fully naked. Interesting character

We have met Galinda who is more less of an airhead and more stuck in her bubble. Stuck in her way of society, not treating Animals with care, being uptight, but still not as upper class as others and is constantly looking for approval. Shes more complex than I thought.

So far we have learned a lot about Elphaba and her birth and her mother and fathers hatred towards her. Also the nanny character, who cares for her is very interesting. She cares for alphabet as a child, but not necessarily as a person and treats her like any other child but also an odd way. There was lots of world building, which truly I enjoyed. There’s lots of parallels between this and the stage adaptation.
