Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling first book in a dark new series that reimagines the Oz saga, from debut author Danielle Paige.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.

Three short stories that take place leading up to the events in Dorthy Must Die. Overall I really liked them. While giving some insight into characters and situations I don't feel it spoiled anything. in fact it sometimes added more questions to my arsenal. NO PLACE LIKE OZ -Wow.

Goodreads review by Ashley on February 04, 2017

I'm always a bit wary of novellas as they're usually either a big hit or a big miss for me. I'm glad to say that these were most definitely a huge hit for me! I loved getting to see the behind the scenes/prequel stuff that I always wanted to know more about while reading the original series. Each no......more

Goodreads review by Donita on June 07, 2015

I might be a little bias.. Because I just love this series.. :) There's no Place like home: Except from what happened to Oz, I keep asking myself while reading Dorothy Must Die.. *What happened to Dorothy really? *How did she become evil from being a nice and kind girl she was? *How did she manage to ret......more

Goodreads review by Brittany on June 20, 2024

The first story was just terrible. I hate Dorothy. Dorothy has already been built up to be hated, and this story is from her point of view, and she is even more terrible as a narrator. I liked the Glenda story, which gave me a bit of insight into how she helped Dorothy become as monstrous as possibl......more
