Review: The Wicked will Rise (Dorothy Must Die #2)

The Wicked will Rise
Dorothy Must Die - Book 2
Danielle Paige


When we left Amy, she had just discovered the secret to succeeding at her task: she can only kill Dorothy if she weakens her closest friends first. So now, on top of being on the run from Dorothy and Glinda, she must steal the Scarecrow's Brain, the Tin Man's Heart and the Lion's Courage.

Easier said than done, but she manages to succeed at getting two out of three before she goes and finds "sanctuary" in the Queendom of the Wingless ones while she plans her next step alongside Ozma. and Pete, if you want to be technical.

One more piece to the puzzle and Dorothy is done for.

But she cannot stop wondering what happened to the Order. She knows she must find them too.
With a small stroke of luck, she is told to seek out Polychrome, the daughter of the rainbow. Polychrome has helped the Order before and should be able to help again. However, finding the door to her place is darn near impossible... unless you have some magic up your sleeves. Or in your ear.

Getting lost, getting found, traitors to the crown, and to each other are just the beginning of this story. Amy is in over her head, and when she starts to lose control, the magic takes over in a unique way.

To top it all off, the Wizard is not who he said he was. Not that he really said who he was... but, who we thought he was, he isn't. Keeping up? No, me either. but here comes a tornado to pick up Amy and take her right back to dear old Kansas.

I suggest you look at Kansas on a map before you read this one. Geography may come in handy.

Paige continues her spellbinding tale as she takes us through the land of Oz. Some of our questions are answered, most aren't, and we get to ask a whole lot of new ones. We get a lot of background about Ozma in this story since she is our main sidekick (I personally think she is a riot.) and we see different parts of Oz throughout Amy's journey as well.  A quicker read than book 1, you will find yourself turning the pages faster than your eyes can absorb all the trouble Amy and the gang find themselves in.  
Onto the Road of Yellow Brick we go...
