I did manage to finally get a job this year. After countless applications over 5-6ish years.

I am as energetic now as I'm likely to be. But standing all day does take a toll.

Eh not really, they're all still pretty unlikeable. But the other two are more interesting because he mixes fairy tales into historical events. Like the Tulip Fever in the Netherlands, where people lost their homes in debt because of freaking tulips. And putting the very real Medici family into Cinderella. The 'prince' is just a minor noble of that particular family. Then using the Bogias in Snow White.

Wicked though, is pretty much all fantasy. With just really annoying characters.

But I've already read the other two books, so it's only fair to give Wicked a second chance.

Well it carries this author's obsession with characters that are piles of poopy. Like Dorothy is an overly religious brat, and making fun of everything she comes across in Oz. And just unlikeable characters.

Nope. All three are separate stories of their own, and it's not really a 'series' in that regard. The only thing each book has in common is that they're retellings of famous fairy tales.

Oh yeah, I recommend giving his books a read.

Some of the basics of the Snow White tale was there too. The poisoned comb, the sash tied tight enough to kill, and of course the apple. The dwarves were...Rocks. Which yeah some myths do say that dwarves are made from stone. Anyway the author continues to not like people. So many characters you just want to smack.
