I usually finish books. Even if I don't love where the story is going, or the characters annoy me, I tend to see it through. I started Danielle Paige's Dorthy Must Die knowing it was going to be a different kind of story. That Oz would be different, the wicked would be good, and a new power-hungry Dorthy would need to be put in her place, or, you know....die. Sadly, this is my first DNF (did not finish) in a long time.

While Amy is a battered character and you want to see her rise from the ashes

I wish someone had warned me that this book was violent and gory. As much as I love the original books and really wanted to like this one, I couldn't finish it. Consider yourself warned. ...more

Meh. I felt like I was just listening to fight scene after fight scene. Not my jam. Though the creepy villainous versions of the Tinman, Lion, and Scarecrow are pretty great.

I forced myself through the prequels first. I almost didn't pick up this book because of the prequels. But I'm glad I did.
This book is much better than the prequels- most of the scenes have an order and make sense, most of the conversations make sense. It's pretty fast paced. The main character is likeable. I don't remember cringing at anything, but the book was written from the point of view of Amy, a sensible chick. Then again, maybe we were MEANT to cringe when we were listening to the point
