message 1268: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #27 (book with name in title) - Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige. Entertaining book that's not incredibly complex. Nice beach read with nice touch of snark. I liked the reimagining of Oz. However, the writing is not the best; I'm hoping it develops a bit more as the series progresses. Worth reading. 3.5 stars
