As far as retellings go, I’m more inclined to call this a spin-off as it starts well after the Wizard of Oz story we know. But it is well done.
Paige was able to take everything we know about the story and flip it on its heads. While making the story arc of the main character Amy resemble what Dorothy did.
The world was well built and you truly hate the Dorothy Dorothy has become. But I still found most of the characters flat. They had motivations and realistic traits, I just didn’t seem to care about them. Like my favorite character was Star the rat.
I will say the ending is explosive and I will be continuing the series.
