A review by jrosenstein
Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

2.0

This book just didn't totally come together for me. I read all of the Oz books when I was a kid so I was excited to read a dark contemporary story set in Oz. But the pacing felt off and the action seemed sort of jumpy. The heroine keeps getting shifted from one place to another without a lot of control over her fate or understanding of what's going on, which ended up making me feel jerked around as a reader. I also didn't realize that this is the first book in a series, so the action ends completely in media res which just annoyed me. I have very different expectations going in if I know the book is the start of a series so I felt that should have been more clear on the cover.
