Book Review: Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige is a great book. It is dark and gripping. Danielle’s books always make me laugh. I can’t wait to meet her and hear more about these amazing books.

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. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still a road of yellow brick—but even that's crumbling.

What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.

My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. I've been trained to fight. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman's heart. Steal the Scarecrow's brain. Take the Lion's courage. And—Dorothy must die.


I would recommend this for anyone who likes fractured fairy tales. Lovers of Marissa Meyer will enjoy this series. I absolutely love fractured fairy tales and this satisfied that part of me very well. Can’t wait to see you all at TBF!
