For fuck's sake, how many novellas are there?
tbh she needs to chill with the novellas.
Hex, más mal no me puedes haber caído. “Do you really think that's how it works? You forget about all the bad things you did, and they just go away? The people you hurt still remember.”
Enjoyable, good for what is it. Working my way through these prequels, the first two I had already read. I'm not a novella/short story fan over all, as I'd just like the full book, but it's cute stories to give some background for what is going on in the main stories so they are worth the read.
I don't think it's ever taken me this long to read a novella. I had a really hard time getting into this. It was definitely my least favorite of the novellas tied to this series.I wasn't overly interested in the wizard or his story. The other novellas added something to the series at large. They were interesting and helped explain backstories of several important characters. That's not to say the wizard isn't and won't continue to be important in the actual books, his backstory just wasn't all t...
Another one that was just ok for me. I'm not enjoying these stories, or the writing, as much as I did in Dorothy Must Die. But I'm willing to stick with it in the hopes that they'll get better?? We'll see.
Ah, and so Danielle Paige does it again - she turns a distant and mysterious character into one that seems more human, one that has a backstory.Overall, I wasn't really drawn into this one, but it did give me a better idea of who the Wizard was as a character.
I believe this books intention was to make people NOT like the Wizard. And he is tied with Dorothy on my "characters I don't care for" list. But I am glad to see his side of the story.
Rating: 4/5This review has been long overdue. In the third prequel of the Dorothy Must Die series, we get a glimpse in the life of the Wizard of Oz right after he left for our world with his balloon. It turns out he never made it back. Instead he ended up in the middle of the poppy field where he send a few years sleeping, only to be awaken by a boy telling him that Oz needs him but he first has to go through 3 tests to prove his heart, brain and courage. This was really enjoyable. I loved learn...
The Wizard is escaping Oz in his balloon but his balloon is caught up in a peculiar storm that sends him plummeting into a sea of poppies. When he wakes, he has lost his memories and a young boy with emerald eyes, Pete tells him of the fairies who can help him if he passes the The Three-Part Test. The Wizard Returns was a wonderful novella, the last one, and I'm very pumped to start Dorothy Must Die. I reckon the novellas get better and better. I liked the Wingless Ones and the comical reference...
so the last one was written in third person ... I found myself getting a liiiiiitttle lost with this one but it still wasn’t bad .
Are you ready to learn the truth behind the wizard? It's not pretty. We all though he was just a phony but he was also a jerk (to put it kindly)! Now with no memory he has the chance to set things right. He is given three trials to determine his true character. This is one of those stories I can't say too much without giving things away. It does answer some things from Dorothy Must Die but also raises others. I am very curious to see how it all ties into the next couple books.3.5 stars
Well, I suppose one of the novellas had to be a clunker. This one just felt messy on top of all of the other bleh bits when you read it. If you've read the first book and the first and second novellas you've seen bits and pieces of the Wizard and know that there's this whole WHAT DOES HE WANT. WHAT IS HE UP TO. vibe. In this we get a hint of what happened to him after he left Dorothy, in the time since, and what happened before he showed back up in the Emerald City again. But it's all just...meh...
I mean...why does this exist? This was a nonsense story that I don't think added anything, was extremely confusing, and just plain unnecessary.
This is post originally on Vivian's Book Pavilion The Wizard Returns To be honest…I don’t find this novella so interesting. Not bad, but not interesting as well. We all know that the Wizard involved in some creepy scheme in Dorothy Must Die, but we never know why. I was only so shock that he had such an ending, that plot twist was the best. Yet, what made him do those decision? Although after reading this novella, I couldn’t connect this Wizard and that Wizard…yet it somehow solves some pro...
The Wizard is much more likable after reading this novella. Review in Swedish at Boktycke.
This review appears in full on What Am I Reading?Rate: 3If Danielle Paige was trying to get me to hate the Wizard, then she did a great job. I was eager to find out what had happened to Wizard after he had "left" and subsequently "returned" later in the story, but I wasn't expecting all of this. The Wizard is selfish, manipulative, and slightly misogynistic. I immediately didn't like him and he had amnesia for crying out loud! Like you must be a terrible person and have a terrible personality if...
Quick synopsis: This novella picks up immediately after Dorothy’s first triumph, with the Wizard in his hot air balloon leaving Oz. Somehow he crashes lands into a field of some hallucinogenic flower or plant (I’ll be honest, I zoned out) and stays there for 25 years losing all of his memories. He is later found by Pete (aka Ozma has we find out at the end of Dorothy Must Die) and is told he must undergo 3 tests to see if he is worthy of being helped by the fairies to retrieve his memories.Throu...
Nothing happens.Nothing makes sense.I still don't get how Pete and Ozma are sharing one body.
Ready for book #2...looking forward to that leg of this trip down the yellow brick road.
