There's No Place Like Oz by Leann Belle
5.0
First off this is the second book in her series of retelling’s but you don’t need to read the first to follow this book. I didn’t and I love this book!
I’ll say this I was excited to read this retelling of Oz simply because I’ve never been a true Wizard of Oz fan but this dark twisty plot kept me entranced. I started reading it May 2nd and finished it by May 8th. Only took that long because I’m a single mom and I had to take care of my kiddo.
This story was so fun, super descriptive and loads of entertaining for me. The first twist thrown at us readers almost made me stop reading but because I desperately wanted to know if I was right about what was going to happen I kept reading and you know what? It was worth it to continue the ride. Her descriptions of Oz and the characters were intriguing and so very enticing and made me feel like I was there with Dorothy and her male counterparts on this journey.
We all know Dorothy and in this journey she’s similar but not really. She talks about her insecurities and faces them which I love. She’s daring and unsure about so much it’s wonderful to relate to her.
Tobias (Toto) meeting him in Oz was what almost made me stop reading. But his gentle soul made me want to know if I was right.
Meeting Crowe (scarecrow) was what kept me reading. I love his dark edge and her descriptions of him!
Leon (lion) I love him I want to keep him forever, bite me please Leon.
Talos (tinman) I’ll take him too! He’s sweet and quiet but you know he’s always there and I want his metal bones to love me forever.
I’m so grateful I got to be an arc reader for this book because it truly made me want to read more by Leann Belle and I plan to. I love finding new authors to support in my reading adventures.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
