There is an element of romance in this story (isn’t there always?), and whilst I love a good romance, I groaned internally when I realised where it was going. The explanation given for “Why Amy?” seemed a little inadequate given what she has to do, so I can only hope there will be more to it as we delve further into the series.Īnother thing that irritated me a little, was how it seemed to be getting predictable.
I thought the backstory of Amy and what had happened in Oz was a little vague – although I’m hoping more will be revealed in the next book (yes this is the first novel in a series). I won’t ruin the story for you, but look out for this one.īefore you think this review is going to be all praise, I did find a couple of disappointments. You’ll understand what I mean when I say how much I felt for him. Not far into the story, you’ll meet a lovely character named Ollie. I particularly noticed how well formed the characters were.
You truly feel like you are part of Oz, like you could look around and find yourself in Dorothy’s palace, or open your door to find the Scarecrow stood before you. The descriptions are amazing, I have to admit. Paige has created Oz in all it’s crumbling glory. So far so good, right? The depth to this story is incredible. I’ve been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, and I’ve been given a mission: My name is Amy Gumm – and I’m the other girl from Kansas. A place where even the yellow brick road is crumbling. A place where Good Witches can’t be trusted and Wicked Witches may just be the good guys. But I never expected Oz to look like this. I didn’t ask to be some kind of hero.īut when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado – taking you with it – you have no choice but to go along, you know? How would you react when you are told the heroine is actually the villain, and that you’re the only one that can stop her? Imagine waking up one day in a world you thought was fictional.
