“Wicked Years” is a darkly fantastical novel by Gregory Maguire, exploring the tumultuous and morally ambiguous rise of the Wizardess, a powerful figure in a reimagined Victorian London. The series blends historical fiction with magical realism, employing a cynical and satirical tone to examine themes of power, corruption, and the blurred lines between good and evil. Maguire’s signature style creates a richly detailed and unsettling world where Victorian propriety clashes with arcane forces.
