Query: A sorry follow up to "Wicked"...

I couldn't even force myself to read this entire book. I loved "Wicked" (and am also a fan of the musical) but "Son of a Witch" (though cleverly titled) wasn't as amazing. The beggining of the book held my attention and made me want to read more, but as I went the interest fell and the book droned. The main thing that turned me off was the tedious quality of this book--I have always been very attentive to detail (this is one reason why I loved "Wicked") and "Son of a Witch" was either completely devoid of it, or it was disgustingly oversauced in it. Wither way, the plot becomes amazingly confusing and ridiculous (reminds me of a soap opera). I had to stop reading because I was so bored and confused (both at once--weird I know).
