The End of Oz (Dorothy Must Die #4) by Danielle Paige

The End of Oz (Dorothy Must Die, #4)The End of Oz by Danielle Paige
Ding dong—Dorothy is dead.

I watched as the Emerald Palace crumbled to the ground, burying Dorothy, the Girl Who Rode the Cyclone, under the rubble. And now that the rightful ruler, Ozma, has been restored to the throne…

Oz is finally free.

My name is Amy Gumm. You might remember me as the other girl from Kansas. When a tornado whisked me away to the magical land of Oz, I was given a mission: Dorothy must die.
But it turns out girls from Kansas are harder to kill than we look.
Now the Road of Yellow Brick is leading me away from Oz to the dark world of Ev, where I have a new, powerful enemy to deal with: the Nome King. And—surprise—he has a gingham-clad bride.
With my magical shoes and a shrinking group of allies, I have one final chance to fulfill my mission, and save not only what’s left of Oz, but Kansas, too. As the line between Good and Wicked blurs even further, I have to find a way to get rid of Dorothy once and for all—without turning into a monster myself.
Dorothy once said there’s no place like home. Can I stop her from destroying mine?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have so many mixed emotions about this book. I loved every moment of it and I didn't want it to end!!! I laughed! I cried! I was happy and sad and happy again! This series has by far been one of my most favorites!!! Someday, over the rainbow...

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Oz has turned into a savage dystopia under Dorothy’s rule—and now a new girl from Kansas must take her down. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz meets Kill Bill in this edgy, fast-paced fantasy adventure.

Somewhere over the rainbow…something has gone terribly wrong. "

So The story of Oz and its famous movie have never been a favorite of mine. Danielle Paige gave me a whole new love for OZ, I myself want to venture somewhere over the rainbow. This book is a great read. It takes you on a whole new adventure thru the land of OZ!!!

I am also enjoying all these "remakes" of my childhood fairy tales. Dorothy must Die , is one of those and I loved every moment from who Amy was to following the yellow brick road, to living in the Emerald City. Ive always thought Dorothy was way to sweet, and I think Danielle Paige captures her just perfect in this book. I wish I didn't have to wait so long for the next book, but I know without a doubt I will be getting it!!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Completely riveting!!! I am one for not giving spoilers in my reviews, I absolutely hate when someone ruins part of the story in a review. With that in mind I will do my best to properly review this without any spoilers.

I am so not a Wizard of Oz fan, that was my mom, my favorite part of the movie was tormenting my little sister with the flying monkeys. I always thought Dorothy was such a goody two shoes, that she was just too sweet!! Gag!!! And how stupid she was for not knowing she had the power to go home at anytime.

Well Danielle Paige, has made my interest in Oz return, she has shown me the side of Dorothy, I always knew was in there, spoiled lil selfish whinny baby!!! Ms. Paige shows us a dark side to Dorothy Gale in No Place like Oz, a side you never imagined you would see of Dorothy. At first it seems just like a happy little reunion with her old friends, the scare crow, the tin woodsman and the lion. You worry about Glinda and what became of her, by the end of this story the true wicked witch is revealed to you and she is not from Oz, born and raised in Kansas she was!!!

I got this ebook after seeing Dorothy Must Die, at the bookstore, and this Ebook was only 1.99 on Kindle, I figured while Im waiting for the BFF to read DMD and give me her review, as well has payday to come around, Id check this prequel out and get a taste for the series and see if I liked it. Well I don't like it!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Danielle Paige has hooked me, as soon as I can I will have Dorothy Must Die, and as soon as the rest of the books are out I will have them too!!! Amazing idea cant wait to see what comes next!!!
