Welcome to Litsy!

I give No Place Like Oz 3 stars. I love the original Wizard of Oz, so I was curious about this prequel. It definitely has a young adult feel, but the characters didn‘t quite work for me. I struggled with Dorothy being mean-spirited at times, especially toward her aunt and uncle. While the book puts a unique spin on the classic, it wasn‘t the kind of twist I personally enjoyed. Fans of darker retellings might appreciate it more than I did.

4/5 for this! This prequel novella was really good. You get to see how Dorothy was before the magic. This is the story of how she got to be the evil Dorothy. I felt for her. This made me feel bad for her at least until the end. I will definitely read the other novellas.

Wow! What a great read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this novella. It tells us how Dorothy returns to Oz but leaves you wondering why... why exactly has she returned? It leaves you wondering, Who is 'good' and who is 'bad'...?

Who was Dorothy's mother... was she linked to Oz...? Who is and where did Glinda come from?

I am very much looking forward to reading the rest of the series 👍🏼👍🏼

I just can't help myself, downloading more books there'll be many books to read for me in the series.

I also made a goodreads group;

A reimagined Wizard Of Oz that tells the rest of the story.

I liked this because it's a prequel to Dorothy Must Die, but it also almost acts like an epilogue to the original Oz story. It's fun to think about what happened to Dorothy after she left Oz, and how magic can corrupt anyone. ☀️☀️☀️🌤

I've been working on an essay for the last five(ish) hours, that means it's time to read, right?

Starting the first prequel now!

I really loved Dorothy Must Die, so I decided to start reading the 10 prequel novellas before I move on to the second book in the series. No Place Like Oz gives the backstory of when Dorothy went back to Oz, two years after her first trip. She becomes discontented with her dreary Kansas life and longs for something more. She returns to Oz and it shows her slow descent into evil. I really loved this book and can't wait for book 2. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wasn't sure if I should read Dorothy Must Die book 1st or where the prequel books come into the series. Will look up and see the correct "reading order". Really liking the retelling of a classic story!

If you liked the first one, this is worth a read. It explains a lot about what happened to Dorothy between saving Oz and becoming a psycho dictator. I don't hate this series, but it builds painfully slow. Still, I'm invested enough to read on and to allow myself to wonder what it means to be wicked!

Can we just stop with the retellings? Won't be reading any more of these. #popsugar #bookandsequel
