Dorothy Must Die Stories Vol. 2 by Danielle Paige, 307 pages
“A collection
of three prequel novellas to the New York Times bestselling Dorothy Must Die
series by Danielle Paige! Follow Dorothy's iconic companions from the beloved
classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as each of their gifts becomes key to the
downfall of Oz. After Dorothy Gale wished her way home and long before Amy Gumm
found herself in Oz, Dorothy's friends left the Road of Yellow Brick to go
their separate ways. But in a place like Oz, where magic and temptation lurk,
the gifts from the Wizard begin to take on a life of their own. The Tin Woodman
becomes twisted with longing. The Scarecrow develops a taste for plotting. And
doubt consumes the Cowardly Lion. Kiss the land where troubles melt like lemon
drops good-bye. Here there's danger around every corner, and magical shoes
won't be able to save you.” This series has been growing on me. The first book was all right, but not
great. This collection of stories,
though, was much better. I really liked
getting into the psyche of the Tin Woodman, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion. It helps explain how everything could have
gone so wrong. The premise is still
disturbing but I’m looking forward to the next book now. Teens that like fairy tale adaptations or
fantasy in general will probably like this series.
