Dorothy Must Die Review

5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Dorothy Must Die 

is a book that everyone must read.

Danielle Paige is an incredible author. 

I could think of a million ways this story could have been 

ruined, but Danielle Paige did a remarkable job. 

This book has made it's way up the ladder and landed a spot as one of my favorite books.

I have read many books, but this is the one that I will be taking about to my friends 

and family a month from now.

Our heroine, Amy Gumm, starts off as a non-violent and lonely 

teenager with only sarcasm as her weapon against the schools biggest bully

but after being dropped in Oz 

and being trained by the revolutionary order of the wicked

she begins to show some major 

character development.

Amy Gumm is Oz's last hope against Dorothy 

and her vicious friends.

 Glinda "the good witch", The Tin Woodsman, The Scarecrow, and The Lion

are stealing the magic from Oz and are terrorizing it's citizens.

Amy has everything she needs to defeat Dorothy:

Brains

Courage

Skills

and

Magic

but in this new Oz is there really anyone 

that she can trust? 

The Order?

Nox?

 The Wizard?

Is killing Dorothy the only way to save Oz?

and most importantly,

in a world where the meaning of the words Good and Wicked

are not what they should be,  

what kind of witch is will Amy Gumm become?

Is she Good or is she Wicked?

Find out what happens to Dorothy 

in this retelling of Oz

Original Summary

I didn't ask for any of this.

I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.

But when your whole life gets 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've never expected Oz to look like this. 

To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion.

There's still the yellow brick road, though-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 Woodsman's heart

Steal the Scarecrow's brain

Take the Lion's courage

Then and Only then- Dorothy must die!
