Diving back into the universe of Dorothy Must Die was something that I really needed. It brought back many fond memories and feelings from when I first read the original series. The series always had a special place in my heart and getting more stories about certain people really brought back my love for the story. ( ) I'm really liking the series already, and I wasn't disappointed with this collection. No Place Like Oz is the first, and it tells how and why Dorothy returns to Oz. It was my least favorite of the trio, but I still enjoyed it. I already disliked Dorothy, having read the first two books, so her back story didn't make me sympathetic towards her. Perhaps if I'd read this first, and then Dorothy Must Die, my feelings would be different. I did feel that it filled in a lot of the gaps from the original, so I was pleased with that. In the second story, The Witch Must Burn, we find that one of the witches isn't as good as she claims to be and is, in fact, controlling things from behind the scenes. We also meet Jellia, a young maid working for Dorothy, who is borrowed for the summer by Glinda. Jellia has no idea what is in store for her at Glinda's, but she knows it can't be good. The third and final novella, The Wizard Returns, tells the tale of the Wizard. What happens to him since Dorothy outed him as a fraud and what will he will do once he finds out that she is now the one ruling Oz. This whole series is wonderful! I enjoy the retelling of the classic Wizard of Oz stories, Danielle Paige does a great job of twisting the well-known tale into something new and entertaining. To be honest, this was my first time diving into this series and I literally knew nothing besides that it was sort of a retelling of The Wizard of Oz. I have to say, I did enjoy these novellas and I can't wait to actually read the trilogy now and see where the author took this because I am quite intrigued. These are fun, quick reads that give a lot of background, I'm guessing, as to why Oz is the way it is in the trilogy. I would recommend this book. 4.5 out of 5 stars. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
