This book was good, but not exactly sure it was right for me. It was a hard hurdle for me to get over to believe Dorthy and her crew were so evil. I don't think I really ever bought into it, so I didn't really enjoy the book; however, I definitely can see where other readers would love the concept. I will go ahead and read the second book because I guess I keep hoping that there is some big misunderstanding and that really Dorothy isn't evil after all. I think there is hope for this and that is why I will go ahead and read the next book. 
 The other thing that bothered me was the emphasis that Dorothy must be killed by Amy and that there was no other way to save Oz. This makes the book a little dark, which normally I don't mind but the thought of a teenage girl murdering another person without exploring other options didn't feel right for me. This technically isn't Amy's battle and I don't feel like she has enough skin in the game to feel justified in murdering Dorothy. 
 Still, I would recommend to friends but cautiously.
