I absolutely loved this book! With every review, however, there are pros and cons. 
 I'm a list person so here goes: 
 Pros 
 1. If you like Retellings, you should give Dorothy Must Die a try. It's a constant battle for Amy to recognize Good vs. Wicked. If I was thrown into a situation like that, yeah I'd also have a hard time picking a side based off the original story I knew of The Wizard of Oz. 
 2. Star is the most amazing creature in this whole story! Even being a rat, you can't help but fall in love with her. 
 3. I enjoy the descriptions and details in this book. It took me to a place so imaginative, it would be impossible to not follow Paige on her journey through Oz. 
 4. Chapters are slightly on the shorter side. It makes me feel more accomplished as I'm reading. I also feel like I can sneak in a quick chapter through out my day without having to stop dead center in a chapter. 
 Cons 
 1. I'm slightly a little too old for this book. It is a YA novel. However, the story-line was WAY too intriguing not to give it a try. And I'm glad I did. I wanted to keep reading chapter after after without stopping. But when I would get distracted is when there were paragraphs explaining what was going on. 
 It was sometimes too explained. I actually skipped/skimmed a page here and there because it was too lengthy. And the wording was too obvious at times. 
 2. If you're looking for a book for your 10 year old and don't mind murder and cussing.. go for it. Let them have it! Haha! 
 If you're 24-years-old like me, and like The Wizard of Oz and don't mind cheesy, obvious moments.. then go for it too. Like I stated before, the story-line is so intriguing that it was impossible for me not to give it a try. 
 3. Romance. Some say 'Ew!' Some say 'Gimme more!' I'm more on the gimme more side. There were a few love interests. Nothing too extreme, but you were routing for Amy to make a move! That's why I love this character. She's almost like a best friend; you want to tell her when she's being dumb; you want to tell her to go for it or that she's being too obvious and should back away; you want to just hug her at times and tell her everything will be alright. 
 Two days ago the third book in the series came out. I'm just glad I can get to book #2 soon and actually keep up with an author for once. I hope everyone enjoys the book as much as I did. I'll see you soon for review #2!
