I'm a new "Wicked" fan (just saw it in October, read the books over Christmas), and this series was recommended to me by a friend, and I've read it through in two days without hardly stopping because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. And I just have to tell you how incredibly good this is, not just the plot (which is excellent), but also the characters. When I'm reading, I forget that this isn't the book, because you have done such an amazing job with everything. The settings, the politics and intrigue - the scene with the Fox reminded me of Fiyero witnessing the Bear cub being killed in the book, and I was literally in tears.
As for the characters, they are a nice mix of the musical and book personas, and I dearly love Elphaba and Glinda and Fiyero. Your Wizard comes off just as well, an odd a mix of creepy and paternal, and Madame is just as horrible as she can be. I love your minor characters, the originals and the bit-players from the two 'verses. I'm at Chapter 24 now, all caught up, and can't wait to see what happens next!
