I believe it’s common knowledge that the musical Wicked is not a direct adaptation of the book. I saw someone compared the two to be like Hamlet v Lion King
I’m wondering if there’s any books out there that are closer to the musical? I’m looking for key themes like:
Fantasy world
Don’t mind some backdrop of political issues, but not to the extent of the original book
Core focus on female friendship
A bit of romance
Something that’s vibrant and maybe a bit campy, but at its heart quite poignant.
