Arc from NetGalley

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.

Follows most of the original story but with a more modern Dorothy. Reads very YA.
Could have been edited down and I didn’t care for the scarecrow character. The Tinman was also dull.

This was such a fun re-telling, and it whirls you off to the land of Oz. First, I must admit I'm a huge fan of the original Oz book series, so I was excited to see where this new spin would take me. A lot of the familiar characters are there (that fans of the movie will recognize), but they're a little different, and have more depth to them than the movie gives. We get to see new facets that aren't present in the books, and I love how Dorothy is a college student from the modern world. She's a lot different from the little girl in the books, and a lot more sassy (which I absolutely adore about her). Honestly, the hardest part of reading this was reaching the end. The world was brought to life just as vividly as it is in my memories, with a few changes, but it was so fun to explore through this new lens. Cannot recommend this enough, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next in this series!… (meer)

The story started out at a slow read where you are introduced to Nadia “Clover Eyes” and Miles. I had to force myself to keep reading the beginning because it’s such a slow read. Once I got to chapters 6 and 7, I couldn’t put the book down.

The story line is so well written and just draws you it. Nadia comes from a family that steals wish from people who don’t even know they exist until Miles. Miles knows about wishes and even bought his wish. Nadia steals his wish and sets up a story of them coming together to try and get it back because it was then stolen from her.

If you like stories the deal with family drama, you will get plenty of that in the story.

I can’t wait for book 2 in the series to come up.



I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
