Once upon a time, there was a girl from Kansas named Dorothy.

You might know her as the Girl Who Rode the Cyclone. She ended up in Oz, where she became friends with the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. But the temptation of magic was too much for her. She let it change her. Her friends became twisted versions of their former selves.

The magical land of Oz is now a dark and menacing place.

My name is Amy Gumm. Tornadoes must have a thing about girls from Kansas, because I got swept away on one too. I also landed in Oz, where Good is Wicked, Wicked is Good, and the Wicked Witches clued me in to my true calling:

Assassin.

The only way to stop Dorothy from destroying Oz—and Kansas—is to kill her. And I’m the only one who can do it.

But I failed. Others died for my mistakes. Because of me, the portal between the worlds has been opened and Kansas and Oz are both in danger. And if I don’t find a way to close it?

Dorothy will make sure I never get to go home again. 

I knew it was a mistake to read this book before the last one is out. I actually thought that this book was the last one which is why I started this series. I first thought that this book was a trilogy. When I did end up finding out that there was another book after, I was already in deep and wasn't about to stop now. I'll just reread the books that way my mind is refreshed when the next books come out. 

If you haven't started this series you really are missing out on something great. I loved that this book didn't revolve around romance like I come across in many young adult books. I mean there is a tiny bits but it isn't centered about the books. The main goal is to get rid of Dorthy and that was that. I loved that there was so much going on. I mean I loved the first book, the second book was OK, didn't do much for me, then there's this book so much going on and I just couldn't put it down. This might be my favorite book out of the series. I loved getting to see the change in different characters. I enjoyed seeing Amy have that internal battle with herself when it came to power and how it was changing her. Overall fantastic highly recommend you lovely readers check out this book!

I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.
But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado - taking you with it - you have no choice but to go along, you know?

Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little bluebirds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still a yellow brick road - but even that's crumbling.

What happened? Dorothy.
They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.

My name is Amy Gumm - and I'm the other girl from Kansas.
I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.
I've been trained to fight.
And I have a mission.

Amy is a trailer trash nobody whoes life just sucked. Then in comes a freak tornado and like the Wizard of Oz she once watched with her mother, she was no longer in Kansas but Oz. Unlike the movie there was no happy munchkins and everything seemed like crap, on top of that Dorothy is somehow the bad guy and Dorthy is under the wings of the wicked witches. Amy is some how left with one mission: Killing Dorthy.

I gotta admit I tried picking up this book many times before and this book just didnt do it for me. Then I found out that my local library had an audiobook and it was the right choice for me. Everything seemed more colorful and lively listening to the readers voice.

I loved how topsy turvey things was in this book. I loved how nothing is as it seems and I kept getting surprised with each reveal. I loved that there were plenty going on to keep me hooked. This book was a gorey and interesting at times. This book ... or audio book was hard to stop once I started it. Thankfully I have the next book with me so after this review I'm going straight forward I need to know what happens next.

All I'm going to leave you with is that this book is fantastic and I loved it. Highly recommend you lovely readers to check out this book!
