* CliffhangerCopout: The first book ends with a quote from a fairy tale told by Sarima earlier in the book: “And there the wicked old Witch stayed for a good long time.” “And did she ever come out?” “Not yet.” This seems to imply that Elphaba will, somehow, return in a future installment. But ultimately, three sequels later and even a seemingly foreshadowing remark from WordOfGod that "a witch will always come back," Elphaba is apparently gone for good.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: In this continuity, it's suggested that the word "Winkie" is actually a FantasticSlur for the people of the Western region of Oz, which is properly called the "Vinkus"; due to the racism against the people of the Vinkus, however, it's so commonly used that most people think it's ''actually'' what they're called. Unfortunately, this phenomenon isn't unknown in RealLife: the words "Eskimo" and "Gypsy" are considered pejorative terms for the Inuit and Romani people, but they're used so frequently that many people assume (incorrectly) that those people are actually called that.
