Yellow Brick War (Dorothy Must Die, 3)

In this action-packed third book in the New York Times bestselling Dorothy Must Die series, new girl from Kansas Amy Gumm is caught between her home—and Oz.

My name is Amy Gumm. Tornadoes must have a thing about girls from Kansas, because—just like Dorothy—I got swept away on one too. I landed in Oz, where Good is Wicked, Wicked is Good, and the Wicked Witches clued me in to my true calling: Assassin.

The only way to stop Dorothy from destroying Oz—and Kansas—is to kill her. But I failed. Others died for my mistakes. Because of me, the portal between the worlds has been opened. And if I don’t find a way to close it?

Dorothy will make sure I never go home again.

Now it’s up to me to: join the Witches, fight for Oz, save Kansas, and stop Dorothy once and for all.

Perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles and Gregory Maguire’s Wicked, Danielle Paige delivers a dark, high-octane reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Holy hell shes still not dead?!! COME ON ITS THE THIRD BOOK DUDE. But anyway, great, easy read. I will likely read the next one too.

I like Amy better in Kansas. Although she’s why too trusting. The girl that bullied the crap out of you for years is suddenly your friend?! What?

Dorothy also sucks as a villain. Like just do something already. All she does is yell and complain.

I found this book fairly disappointing compared to the first two. It was very...short. That's the only way I can think of to describe it. It felt like nothing too much happened, even though there were several different events. And I guess she's writing another book in the series? I thought it was just going to be a trilogy, but I guess not. I think this was my least favorite so far though, like she is starting to run out of steam for the series.

I loved the first two books and this one was just kind of disappointing and even frustrating at times. I started to dislike Amy during this book and realize how cliche her personality is but I still want to remember how I thought she was one of the best main characters in the first two books. For the record I still really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the romance, magic friendship, and themes but I was a little more focused on the bad stuff so more accurately aka. on Storygraph I'll give it a 3.75 out of 5 and I'm hoping the last book is my favorite or else I might have very few reasons to ever re-read past book 2.

P.S. For anyone who enjoys this: I understand why you like it and don't want my review to negatively effect your perception of this book or the perception of someone who hasn't read it yet. I think there's a lot to enjoy with this. I'm just nit picky, okay?
