I didn't ask for any of this.
I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.
But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado – taking you with it – you have no choice but to go along, you know?
Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. But I never expected Oz to look like this. A place where Good Witches can't be trusted and Wicked Witches just might be the good guys. A place where even the yellow brick road is crumbling.
What happened? Dorothy.
My name is Amy Gumm – and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, and I've been given a mission:
Remove the Tin Woodman's heart.
Steal the Scarecrow's Brain.
Take the Lion's courage.
And then –
Dorothy Must Die.
I really liked how the book took Amy to Oz within the first chapter. It would have been quite boring to read chapter for chapter before she finally came to Oz, so i really liked how the author did that in only one chapter. Danielle Paige made Oz a kinda creepy place, but Amy didn't know why. For the reader it was quite obvious Dorothy is her enemy, but Amy figured it out eventually.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I've read lots of fairytale retellings, but i still like them. Sure, it was kind of disappointing when Dorothy didn't die in this book (since its title is Dorothy Must Die), but since it grew into a series, it was quite obvious. But Dorothy really is a character you can hate.
