Son of a Witch is the second novel in the Wicked Years trilogy (trilogy? series? I don't know yet). I liked Wicked well enough, but I felt that Son of a Witch was even better.
It tells the story of Liir, who is rather forgettable in the first novel, and the ups and downs of his coming of age. I won't lie- there are times in this book that I was yelling at him. And fewer times that I was cheering for him. But it all worked out in the end, which made me want to dive right into the third novel (A Lion Among Men) right away.
I love the continuing political commentary, this time on a more personal level regarding compliance vs subservience, piety as political tool, and the nature of truth. I definitely recommend this for anyone who read Wicked, whether they liked it or not. But you can also read it as a stand-alone without losing anything in the plot.
