Out Of Oz: The Final Volume In The Wicked Years

Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire is the bold, bittersweet finale to The Wicked Years series, returning readers to a politically fractured Oz where magic and power rarely sit comfortably together. If you loved the moral complexity of Wicked, this last volume brings the story full circle with high stakes and a sweeping sense of return.

The Emerald City is on edge, unrest is simmering, and familiar figures are no longer safe in their familiar roles. As war threatens to spill across Munchkinland, Rain — Elphaba’s granddaughter, once just a mysterious green child — steps into an Oz that demands choices, courage, and compromise. Along the way, faces from earlier books reappear, including Dorothy, in ways that deepen the series’ long-running questions about justice, loyalty, and belonging.

Perfect for fans of fantasy, political intrigue, literary retellings, and readers who like Oz stories with sharp edges.

Follow the yellow brick road to the finish and see where Maguire leaves his Oz.
