A review by lyakimov
Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

2.0

I was not really attached to any characters in this book. We move from one set of characters to another and we don’t have the ability to actually get any character depth or connections and so they all feel disingenuous. The main character felt so quirky and different but she was just boring. This whole book and the pacing seemed rushed, but at the same time, I felt like nothing happened. It was super slow but randomly shot through moments like Amy developing her magic and all this shit. Like suddenly she’s a whole wizard out here after 1 month? Super fast. Not as fast as the pacing of the romance, though, which was obviously thrown in because it’s a typical requirement that you must reach when publishing a YA book.

The concept of the story was pretty interesting but I was underwhelmed with the execution.
