Yellow Brick War (Dorothy Must Die #3)
You might know her as the Girl Who Rode the Cyclone. She ended up in Oz, where she became friends with the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. But the temptation of magic was too much for her. She let it change her. Her friends became twisted versions of their former selves.
The magical land of Oz is now a dark and menacing place.
My name is Amy Gumm. Tornadoes must have a thing about girls from Kansas, because I got swept away on one too. I also 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. And I’m the only one who can do it.
But I failed. Others died for my mistakes. Because of me, the portal between the worlds has been opened and Kansas and Oz are both in danger. And if I don’t find a way to close it?
Dorothy will make sure I never get to go home again.
2017... It better be 1000 pages long or else
3.5 ⭐⭐⭐ I found this installment better than book 2 but so far none have been as good as the first book. There were a few things that bothered me about this one and most had to do with the parts in Kansas. Spoilers ahead so beware.....So much was made of Amys unhappy home-life and then suddenly her mom is better (devoted, loving, & penitent) & shes friends with her bully (the girl who basically tormented her every day at school) - it was just too much to blindly accept in my opinion. I
I loved the first book in this series, Dorothy Must Die, so much but the second book, The Wicked Will Rise, didn't really do it for me. I was hoping Yellow Brick War would save the series for me but it didn't. The plot for this series was very drawn out and what little plot there was in Yellow Brick War was rushed. I really think this series should have been only two books. I wasn't a fan of the the plot for the second book and Yellow Brick War was no different. There was such a lack of
Edit. Literally a couple of hours later :Turns out Danielle Paige is writing a 4th book! It comes out next Spring!!!!Original Review4 starsI remember starting Dorothy Must Die when it first came out and I wondered how on earth, or in this case Oz, is Amy going to kill Dorothy? The question has been gnawing in my head for a while. For sure, it wouldn't be a walk in the park for Amy and her companions. Yellow Brick War was a book that was good yet a little underwhelming towards the end. First
This is such a fun series! So, I was all about the Nome King in this one! Seriously, I am all about the movie Return to Oz as I have said before. So, I was fangirling when his presence came about!!! I also liked that a lot of the story takes place in Kansas and the other half in Oz! Can't wait for the last book!! Full review on my blog https://literarydust.wordpress.com/20...
This series is so damn weird and insane and unique. Admittedly, this book is my least favorite so far, but there are definitely some good plot twists in it still. I like the part where Amy is back in her world. I actually got a little emotional seeing how much her mother truly has changed and how hard she is working to gain back the trust and affection of her daughter. The emotions the relief, the resentment, the yearning, the hope all of these things were done well and rather realistically,

Full Review on my blog!Ahhhh! I absolutely love this series! This series has gradually gotten better with each book, and I love how much every character has developed thus far. Im really enjoying Danielle Paiges style of writing and the overall premise and mythology of her take on OZ is soooo enthralling. Yellow Brick War was fast paced and full of action! So much happens in this book and there are so many problems they have to face and a ton of new twists! There are some interesting changes and2017... It better be 1000 pages long or else
