Review: The End of Oz by Danielle Paige

Title: The End of Oz (Dorothy Must Die #4)
Author: Danielle Paige
Published: March 14th 2017
Date Read: March 25th – April 1st 2017

Ding Dong – Dorothy is Dead.

My name is Amy Gumm. You might remember me as the other girl from Kansas. When a tornado whisked me away to the magical land of Oz, I was given a mission: Dorothy must die. I thought I succeeded.

But it turns out girls from Kansas are harder to kill than we look.

The Road of Yellow Brick is leading me to the dark world of Ev, where I have a new, powerful enemy to deal with: the Nome King. And – surprise – he has a gingham-clad bride.

Now I have to:

Escape the crumbling city.

Follow the Road for answers.

Discover a way to be good and wicked.

Before the End of Oz.

I hope this was finally the last book in this series. I liked this series and this book was quite good, but I really need an end to this one. The caption of this book even spoilers a little and it's quite obvious Dorothy isn't dead yet, because there wouldn't be a fourth book if she was. But if you liked the other books in this series, you should read this one too.

Review: Rebellion by Kass Morgan

Title: Rebellion (The 100 #4)
Author: Kass Morgan
Published: December 6th 2016
Date Read: March 2nd – 10th 2017
Read In: English

There's no such thing as Peace on Earth.

It's been a month since the new dropships landed and the rest of the Colonists joined the hundred on the ground. The teens, once branded juvenile delinquents, are now leaders among their people. It should be a time for celebration and togetherness, but a new threat appears before long: a fanatical cult determined to grow its ranks and „heal“ the war-ravaged planet... by eliminating everyone else on it.

After scores of their friends are captured, Clarke sets off to retrieve them, certain that she can come to an understanding with these strangers. Bellamy has a different plan; he won't let anything – or anyone – get in the way of saving the people he loves. Meanwhile, in captivity and scared for their lives, Glass falls under the spell of the cult's magnetic message, and Wells has to learn how to lead again. Unless the rescue party arrives soon, the teen captives will face a fate more terrifying than anything they could imagine.

If the hundred ever want to call this dangerous planet home, they'll need to put aside their differences and fight to protect themselves and their world.

I really loved the other books in this series and this one was good too, but I don't know if it was necessary to have another fight with the grounders. I know the tv-series is only based on these books, but I would've liked a story more similiar to the tv-series a little more.
