Reviews
""A brilliant achievement."" -- Boston Herald ""Wildly inventive...Maguire refreshes his source material capably...Every bit as good as Wicked: wicked good, in fact."" -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
""Wildly inventive...Maguire refreshes his source material capably...Every bit as good as Wicked: wicked good, in fact."" - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ""A brilliant achievement."" - Boston Herald ""To accomplish this metaphorical feat, Maguire pulls in everything from the biblical ""tree of knowledge"" to the conniving but oppressed Lucrezia Borgia, who serves nicely as the tale's wicked queen, to eight (count 'em) distinctly non-Disneyesque dwarfs with a knack for mirror making."" - Village Voice
