“There is a part of me that envies you, to be returning to the living, breathing world. Think of me when you go into the mountains," she said softly, her gaze far away. "When you look out over the blue valleys to the far horizon, say my name that I might see them, too, through your eyes. And remember as in all of us, it is only your capacity for wickedness that makes selflessness possible.”I'm torn on my feelings for this book. I read it in one sitting, it's not like it wasn't good, but it wasn'...

Can I have the next one please?? Like NOW!!

Actual rating 3.25 starsSo this was better than book 2, but not as gripping as book 1. Here's the thing- this series feels like such a money grabbing scheme, I just can't get behind it. I'm not saying that to diss the author, who is talented and has really interesting ideas in this series. But there are already 2 novella bindups, and now the original trilogy is being pushed out to a series of at least 4 books. I just don't get it. Books 2 and 3 should have been one book. They are so short! It's

This series is so damn weird and insane and unique. Admittedly, this book is my least favorite so far, but there are definitely some good plot twists in it still. I like the part where Amy is back in her world. I actually got a little emotional seeing how much her mother truly has changed and how hard she is working to gain back the trust and affection of her daughter. The emotions – the relief, the resentment, the yearning, the hope – all of these things were done well and rather realistically,...

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I found this installment better than book 2 but so far none have been as good as the first book. There were a few things that bothered me about this one and most had to do with the parts in Kansas. Spoilers ahead so beware.....So much was made of Amy’s unhappy home-life and then suddenly her mom is better (devoted, loving, & penitent) & she’s friends with her bully (the girl who basically tormented her every day at school) - it was just too much to blindly accept in my opinion. I had

THESE BOOKS GIVE ME SO MANY FEELINGS.Sigh, I can't believe I have to wait till next year for the fourth book...But anyways.Like always, this book was full of adventure, full of action.AND THE AMOUNT OF PLOT TWISTS HERE. Holy guacamole.Amy's internal battles between good and evil continue, but we really do see a lot of character development on her part.Things are definitely shaken up in this book - we see a lot of old characters and old places that we realize are more than what they seem.All in a...

I think this has to be my favourite out of the series so far! This book was nonstop action from start to finish and had so many twists and turns that I honestly had no idea what could or would possibly happen next. The characters had so much growth from the previous book to this one and it was really interesting to see them evolve and the changes from the first book in the series to this one. This series has definitely been cemented as one of my faves, I just love how wicked it is and the twist

I couldn’t help but wonder: What if, that afternoon in the trailer, my mom had decided just that once to take care of me? To drive me to safety-somewhere both of us could ride out the storm together? What if she had finally done the right thing? Was what I’d gained in Oz-strength, power, respect, self-reliance-worth what I’d lost? I think by far my largest disappointment stems from my epic love of book one, the epic heartbreak of book two, and my obsession of the series as a whole. Bu

Upon re-read, this series went from one I loved to one that nearly put me asleep.Once upon a time, Dorothy Must Die was the first book I picked up after years of reading nothing. It was my gateway into the world of literary magic I’d nearly forgotten. For that, this series holds something of a special place in my heart. Three years later -and a lot of better books later- my opinions on this series have gone drastically downhill. In fairy tale retellings, I love seeing authors twist and manipulat...

Please note that I gave this book half a star, but rounded it up to 1 star on Goodreads.I can say right here plain and simple I am done with this lackluster series. I reviewed books #1 and #2 and I gave them both 3 stars. I thought book #1 showed potential, but book #2 had our main character Amy Gumm just spinning in place and now book #3 includes more of her spinning in place with side helpings of let's be an asshole too.Please don't read if you haven't read books #1 and #2 in the Dorothy Must

2017? are you kidding me? oh you're not? well then. damn. that's like three years from now and I'll be university what is this oh man. I'm mad.edit: so it's out april 2016. this will most likely be the reason i fail ap exams in may. also maybe bc i am dumb and suck at biology lel *cries*

Full Review on The Candid Cover4.5 StarsAfter reading the two previous books in the Dorothy Must Die series, I wasn't sure if Yellow Brick War was going to be as incredible, but it was! The story is so unique and the main character is just so spunky. This book is a little more modern than the others, but I was really intrigued by the way everything connects.This series is honestly unlike any other. The Dorothy Must Die books are my favourite Wizard of Oz retellings and definitely among my favour...

This series is an adventure and I love it

ORIGINAL REVIEW POST CAN BE FOUND AT 'ON THE BOOKSHELVES'“Sometimes I wonder if it's even Dorothy's fault., or if this place was just rotten from the start, underneath everything. If maybe that's the price you pay for magic.”Unfortunately the Dorothy Must Die series continues to go downhill with this third installment, Yellow Brick War. The series follows Amy Gumm, another Kansas girl who finds herself in the land of Oz. But things aren't peachy in Oz anymore, and so Amy must kill the power hung...

Full Review on my blog!Ahhhh! I absolutely love this series! This series has gradually gotten better with each book, and I love how much every character has developed thus far. I’m really enjoying Danielle Paige’s style of writing and the overall premise and mythology of her take on OZ is soooo enthralling. Yellow Brick War was fast paced and full of action! So much happens in this book and there are so many problems they have to face and a ton of new twists! There are some interesting changes a...

I loved the first book in this series, Dorothy Must Die, so much but the second book, The Wicked Will Rise, didn't really do it for me. I was hoping Yellow Brick War would save the series for me but it didn't. The plot for this series was very drawn out and what little plot there was in Yellow Brick War was rushed. I really think this series should have been only two books. I wasn't a fan of the the plot for the second book and Yellow Brick War was no different. There was such a lack of characte...

2017... It better be 1000 pages long or else

I haven't put this book down since I started it. The fact that I had such a busy weekend made it impossible for me to finish in one sitting, but every chance I got, I was listening to it. The cliffhanger has given me a heart attack. Since I've been listening to the audiobook, I didn't know that it was ending so soon. There was still so much that needed to happen! I just don't know how to feel. I need to catch my breath and go cry a little bit.Full review to come later. After I've bawled my eyes

Edit. Literally a couple of hours later :Turns out Danielle Paige is writing a 4th book! It comes out next Spring!!!!Original Review4 starsI remember starting Dorothy Must Die when it first came out and I wondered how on earth, or in this case Oz, is Amy going to kill Dorothy? The question has been gnawing in my head for a while. For sure, it wouldn't be a walk in the park for Amy and her companions. Yellow Brick War was a book that was good yet a little underwhelming towards the end. Fi...

THE REVIEWWhy this book?I love this seriesWhat I thoughtIt ended on a cliffhanger. Which means more books!!!"Forget the order I've fallen inlove with you too"Gosh I love this series!! The characters remain amazing, and The book was fast paced and full of action! Amy is back and she's still one hell of a kick ass heroine. I was afraid I wasn't gonna like this one. Mainly because The book starts off in Kansas and Danielle Paige was messing with my ship. I hated how she was treated in Kansas in the...
