Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige is a fractured fairy tale but the story line is far from fractured. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy is thought of the good, kind girl from Kansas, and the wicked witches are considered evil. However, roles have switched around. Dorothy found her way back to Oz after her first trip, and she turned into a tyrannical monster. Dorothy is joined by many of the people who helped her on her first journey such as Glinda, the Tin Man, the Lion, and the Scarecrow, all of which have completely changed. Now, another girl from Kansas has arrived by way of a tornado and she is named Amy Gumm. The order of the Wicked recruits her and train her for her mission, to kill Dorothy.
I am quite the Wizard of Oz fan, and I absolutely loved this spin off of the story. The character development is superb. Additionally, the imagery was astounding. I truly felt like I was in Oz all throughout the novel. This book has a wonderful plot line full of many unexpected turns and surprises. Right when you think you may have something figured out, Danielle Paige proves you wrong as you turn the page.
I would recommend this book to people who enjoy fantasy novels as well as fractured fairy tales. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
