Fantastic story, great plot, and amazing twists! The story is so rich and invigorating! Love it, will rave about it until the day I die.

"This series is a fresh spin on a classic tale. I wouldn't consider myself a huge Wizard of Oz fan but I loved this book! The author explores Oz and its classic characters in a whole new way." - Rya N.

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige is the first book in a four book series about the reimagined world of Oz after The Wizard of Oz takes place. When I first started reading the book, I thought it was a stand alone book; However it turns…

I am a fan of twisted fairytale stories and Dorothy Must Die is a novel that drew my attention due to the title. It implies that, well, Dorothy, an important character from the original story, has to be killed. Instead of Dorothy, the main…

The Wizard of Oz is a story depicting a young, innocent girl named Dorothy Gale, who gets whisked off by a tornado into a wondrous new world, far different from her own. Along the way, she meets new friends and solves each of their…

A dark, action packed, unique retelling with Wizard of Oz characters. This isn't the Oz you know and love.

I just powered through the prequel story collections for this series before I started this one, and it's a good thing I did. The stories had such great set-up material for this book, and such great character development. This book had non…

I am a big fan of all things OZ, even that show that got cancelled a summer or so ago. I went to great lengths to find the unaired pilot for Lost in Oz, and read Wicked at least twice a year...so I was intrigued to find this series. …

Well written, it was a page turner. While I love the premise, the male characters were two-dimensional. Great book for teenage girls.

A great retelling of the Wizard of Oz saga with a modern twist. An alternate portrayal of the world of Oz where Dorothy is not so sweet, and has more in common with the personalities of Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. It's great to read…

This is a creative twist to the Oz story. Who would have thought Oz could be so dark and evil? Can't wait to see what happens next.

I enjoyed it! the story is really creative and it makes you question who is considered good or wicked.

I really enjoyed this book.But Amy Gumm is really whiny, and her whines and complants just made me enjoy the book less than i could have.

Characters: 5/10 Plot: 5/10 Writing: 6/10 Audio: 7/10 I wish I liked this book more than I did. I started it on audiobook, then finished it as a physical book. It did have an interesting premise and was entertaining enough to finish,…

This novel was wonderful by far my favorite series. The story get's better if you continue reading. At first I was hesitant thinking "Who'd wanna read this?" It was boring for the first few chapters and than got super intriguing. My…

Hunger Games meets Wicked. Dorothy is not who we were duped into thinking, and Amy Gumm finds out the hard way. Transported in the standard way, via tornado, she lands in Oz to find it transformed by Dorothy and her henchmen into an…

“There’s no place like home.” WOAH. One of my favourite books ever. I have to say that when I saw the title for the book, I was like, “huh.” Not something you would expect a title to be as a retelling, but as they always say, NEVER JUDGE A…

Spoiler oops Dorothy doesn't die. End of story. Like it was good but when you are waiting and expecting her to die and she doesn't it's quite disappointing it's like what's the point why did I read this??? But there are more books so I…

I'm calling it a day with this one at just under 50%. I tried, really I did. But this just falls flat at every opportunity. Let's start with Oz. This was supposed to be Tim Burton's Oz. Dark, twisted, fucked up, and not at all your…

452 pages of set up and filler. Only the last 50 pages actually had any action. I was so excited by the concept (and it still sounds like it could make an amazing book) that maybe my expectations were too high but this book played out by…

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book, but it drew me in right away. It's one of my "I-couldn't-put-it-down" books. It was an interesting take on what could have happened to the characters after the events of "The Wizard of Oz."

Wasn't a huge fan of this book. Its pretty boring. It dragged on, I won't recommend it.

This was an interesting take on the world of Oz. However, I didn't love it. I will definitely read the rest of the series, but I don't know if I'll be rushing to pick up the next one

An excellent twist on an old tale. Amy has nothing going for her and her life is pretty much a dead end until a tornado hits Kansas and she wakes up in Oz. The story of Dorothy is true but that time is long passed. Oz is now a wasteland…
