I love Glinda. It would have been so easy for Maguire to write her as a vacuous twit, but he didn't. She's an amazing character.
God, yes, she could've been a twit, but she's not one. Even Galinda is not a twit, though she tries hard to be. I love her so.
Let me mention one thing that neither of you really touched on, though. I thought the parts with Shell were fascinating (and so creepy! OMG). When he appeared, that's what perked me up and made me think "Wow. Maguire's going to some DARK places here." Very, very dark. I think that's the main thing that makes me want to see a sequel, because those themes left hanging. He *has* to bring the Shell plot to some sort of resolution, IMO.
Ooh yes! Shell is teh crazeh. Or ev0l. Or both. It needs resolution, as does the Liir/Candle/Trism plot. Not to mention the very green baby.
