There are four books in the main series, the other books in the universe explore what happened before Amy Gumm arrived in Oz. Amy learn very quickly, there is a lot we do not know about Oz. You follow Amy as she is thrown into the cruelty of Oz. She grapples with darkness as she learns to wield magic to save Oz and defeat the evil queen Dorothy, yes the famous Dorothy. Paige was able to reimagine Oz with complexities I didn’t know I needed- that you need to explore.Īmy Gumm, the main character, is the other girl from Kanans. I loved every minute I spent with Amy Gumm and her wicked crew. If you are a fan of the movie The Wizard of Oz you need to get your hands on the YA Dorothy Must Die series by Danielle Paige.
What happened here?” Indigo’s impassive face twisted into a snarl. Oh, and Danielle Paige, if you're reading this "HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME THIS BEAUTY AND THEN EXPECT ME TO WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL.“They talk about Oz where I’m from. Just a side note, if you want to carefully step away from your computer for fear of possibly reading the words of a maniac who enjoys reading about pain, I'll totally understand, pinky promise. It had me making faces every other chapter but, to be completely honest, it was REALLY cool the weirder it got the more I loved it.
You know, the usual everyday grotesque stuff. There were also some seriously gross scenes in this book: arms being pulled off, blood squirting everywhere, injections to the brain where the fluid being injected is LIQUID BRAINS. Paige went there.Īs for our heroine Amy Gumm, how can we not adore her? She's feisty, brave, insecure, grounded, sarcastic (ALWAYS sarcastic, I have never loved dialogue in a novel more) and most importantly, real! She isn't your typical, crazy talented, beautiful selfless character, she has a real story and a personality you can really relate to.
Her insanity just pours out of the pages along with her unnatural lip glossed smile and hypnotic red heels. She is the queen of evil characters in YA. A completely terrifying, sweet-talking, party-obsessed, mean, creepy monster. This book was insanely addictive, it blew me away on so many different levels. I'll admit, at first I didn't understand all the hype over this book I mean, a retelling of the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy is evil? It kind of just sounded bizarre.
