    I’ve been reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wizard of Oz coup’d the old Queen of Oz and is carrying out genocide on the sentient Animals of Oz, and the Witch, Elphaba, is a member of a secret cell of revolutionary assassins.

        Hell yeah! I remember it being a thing when it came out, and then the musical or whatever, but it’s pretty cool. I’m kinda reading in a manner like “ok, the Frank L Baum books are American Great Depression, so these Wicked books are like the Gilded Age right previous to it”. The book even has stuff about droughts in Oz’s breadbasket region.
