Comencé a leer "Dorothy Debe Morir" y como a la mitad lo deje para leer este y entender un poco más. Este libro realmente te hace odiar a Dorothy, bueno no odiar pero es de las pocas veces que realmente no estas de acuerdo con el personaje principal.
Este libro transforma completamente a Dorothy, dándole la esencia para los siguientes libros.

No se si leeré las demás historias cortas, pero muero por conocer el desenlace de esta historia.

Really interested twisted tale of Dorthy of Oz. Good nods to the original and nice twists that make it make sense. This is a prequel to Dorthy Must Die. I am reading it in chronological order.

No Place Like Oz is not like you're average fairy tale retelling. Mainly because it's not exactly a retelling. No Place Like Oz takes place AFTER Dorothy's Oz adventure. This time, 16 year old Dorothy Gale returns to Oz with two loved ones and at first, it all seems exciting but quickly her company turns into a bit of a burden and later, regret. Not only that, Dorothy discovers that while it's been two years since the tornado in Kansas, it's been far longer in Oz. It's been so long that everything is not the way it was when Dorothy left and everything is not the way it seems when she arrives. In fact, a dear friend of hers is in trouble and has been missing for ten years! Dorothy's friend got her back in Oz but will Dorothy's actions once she's arrived be good for Oz or herself? This is the question that will rattle in your mind when you finish reading this novella.

I was hooked from the very first page. I was excited to see this magical world on the page, what a wonderful job Paige has done bringing this world, this after to life. What stunning imagery. It was such a treat to see Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and Lion in the aftermath of Dorothy's former triumph. Scarecrow and his friends are cautious of Princess Ozma who currently holds the power of Oz and it seems they may have had good reason to. But were Glinda's actions to resolve the conflict right or do Glinda and Dorothy's decisions only create more problems? Well. Something tells me it's the latter as this IS the prequel to Dorothy Must Die and suddenly the title of the book frightens me more than it did before. Scarecrow was cautious around Princess Ozma but he may have to switch his focus on power hungry Dorothy. Whatever's ahead, it's not looking good and I can't wait to dive into a much darker Oz in Dorothy Must Die when I read it this fall in book club.

No Place Like Oz was a fabulous introduction to Danielle Paige's reimagining of a tale we all know and love. This was such a great teaser. We got a hint of what we can expect moving forward in this series and I am so excited for more. More of Dorothy losing control, losing sight of the importance things in life and finding the true meaning of love and happiness and home. More from Oz and the people of Oz after the power trip that Dorothy is on, whether she realizes she's on it or not. Oh, magic. Paige has given herself so much to work with, especially setting this story after the happenings of this classic tale and because this can go in oh so many dark directions, I am just dying to open up Dorothy Must Die. But know that I must wait for my book club! Ah! Why oh why did I tease myself reading this prequel? So good!

Review originally posted on my blog.

Resumiendo, Como en oz en ningún sitio me ha gustado bastante. Una precuela que nos introduce en el conocido mundo de oz, pero de una forma mucho mas oscura. una protagonista con una evolucion y un giro impresionantes. un ritmo pausado al principio, pero que al final te engancha. una historia muy original e interesante. una lectura entretenida que se realiza en una tarde. un final sorprendente que me ha dejado con ganas de leer dorothy debe morir

3.5/5

This novella is amazing! I love The Wizard of Oz and the Wicked books. I love anything about Oz. Danielle Paige manages to keep the wonder and imagery of Oz and create a brand new story. It makes me even more excited about Dorothy Must Die.

Glad I'm reading the novellas before book two. Really blots things into perspective. Liked the background.

Didn't live the ending. I thought aunt em and uncle Henry would be somewhere in the castle hating life, but that ending was like BOOM!!!

Such an interesting retelling of an old classic

Actual Rating: 4.4

This is the first of three novellas from the Dorothy Must Die series. This is the prequel to Dorothy Must Die. It did not disappoint. I thought that it was great to see the journey Dorothy took from the first trip to Oz to the second trip to Oz. I did not like the way Dorothy treat Aunt Em or Uncle Henry. I surprised when

Spoiler

Aunt Em and Uncle Henry died at the end

. Also, I never expected

Spoiler

Glinda would be so munipulative.

Al ser una historia corta no está muy desarrollada. Aquí vemos como la dulce Dorothy que viajó de Kansas a Oz ha crecido. Su mayor deseo es volver a Oz y un par de zapatos de tacón rojo le conceden su deseo.
Poco a poco el poder se le sube a la cabeza. Me ha gustado volver a Oz, pero he detestado a Dorothy y su crueldad. Espero que Dorothy debe morir sea mucho mejor.

Próximamente reseña en el blog.
