I don’t think I would have finished this book if I was reading the physical copy. I listened mostly to the audio book. There is nothing wrong with this book, it’s got an interesting plot! I just think I’ve grown out of YA for a while.

I found the beginning and ending bits of the book to be enjoyable. However, there was a whole middle section that slogged on and, for me didn't have enough action as I had hoped. We spent the entire time in Amy's head, and while it works sometimes, I found it to be severely annoying and distracting from the story (first person narrative woes).

I’m hooked! I love twisting up old stories and making them new. I love Dorothy living long enough to become the villain and a new girl from Kansas has to set things right. It’s still not clear who is on whose side and it’s gearing up to be a huge showdown. I can’t wait!

If you love twisted fairytales this one’s for you. I enjoyed the idea of this book even if the writing was basic. I understood who Amy’s character was supposed to be, and enjoyed the fact that she didn’t immediately gain an obsessive love interest.

I wasn't sure about this book at first, but it definitely picked up along the way. I loved the twist on a famous story. It's definitely a dark retelling with a fair share of gore and mild torture, so beware. I'm so intrigued by where this series is headed and will for sure be moving on to the next installment soon. I do want to note that there is a bit of cussing and gore, so I don't plan on recommending this to just any YA reader.
