Life and adventures through the eyes of a lifelong nerds and book-addicts.
While waiting for the next book to release in the “Dorothy Must Die” series, I decided to start tackling the prequel novels. This is the first. Obviously Dorothy Gale made it back to Oz somehow, but what is the story behind it? More importantly, what had corrupted her in the first place. We start off in Kansas on Dorothy’s sixteenth birthday, and while she loves her home, she still wishes to be back in Oz.
Amy Gumm has managed to leave Kansas and fall into Oz. She has watched companions and friends die at the hands of those who are “Good.” Learning Magic was complicated for her at first, but she has managed it well, and is becoming fairly adept at it. She hid amongst the staff in the palace, and escaped when their attack on Dorothy failed. The question remains though, is she with the right group and doing the right things? Or, has she been recruited for the wrong side of this war?
Dorothy clicked her heels, ending up back home laying in bed, in her room in Aunt Em’s house in Kansas. What happened after though? Did she ever miss Oz, or her friends there? Was Kansas too boring after seeing what life was like in another place? Amy Gumm is about to find out when she is plucked from her not-so-friendly life in Kansas and taken to Oz in a tornado that rips her and her trailer from the trailer park she calls home. The real question is: Can wicked be good, and good be wicked?
