The Wicked Will Rise audiobook

Just read this book in one sitting, just like i did for the first! so amazing...... dying to get the third book! such a cliff hanger!

UPDATE#3: I'VE READ IT AND ITS ACTUALLY REAL GOOD SO I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A LIL REVIEW LMAO. Ok, ok, alright. This book was so much smaller than Dorothy Must Die, and of course Dorothy Must Die was slightly better, but it isn't THAT AS a disappointment like people say it is. I mean yeah, it was short and kinda rushed. But can we say CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT??God, Amy's character development was actually real interesting in this book. omg, and unlike some people i think I loved it. I was unsure at first and at some parts, as I was like guurl, what even are you doing?! But then I understood what the author was going with it. And y'all need to admit it was actually unique. So, Amy is neither good nor bad in this book. And that's what I like. She doesn't always make the right decisions and sometimes she screws up real bad, but she keeps fighting bc she is challenging HERSELF. And also its quite realistic as no people are completely on the good side or in the wicked side, and this just prooves it. I don't know about y'all, but this sure happens to me; when I'm reading a book or something and this character is having a fight and has a chance to kill the creature or something real fiercely and they are blinded by rage, I'm on the back like "YAS GIRL YOU GO, GO BEST FRIEND THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND THAT'S MY BESTFRIEND RIP HIS ASS APART" And I'm like 100% on their side, but when a thought comes to their head like "No, this is not good." I'm left like disappointed ya know? Idk, every character needs a wicked and a good side, a balance. Not always being a super goodie goodie "I put everyone before myself" Idk, its weird, and I know it shouldn't be like that or idk, but what I'm trying to say is that is quite interesting Amy has a wicked side, and actually shows it ya know?Lmao, I don't even know if it just happens to me, i think it does. Sorry, ignore that. But either way, final thoughts: I was highly entertained with this book, I mean it might not be the best written and best paced book of them all. But it kept me turning the pages so that counts, I guess. Also, the plot in this book wasn't really written?? I mean I don't have any idea where the plot is going or what EVEN is the plot, there's still SO MANY questions and they just keep bringing more and more without answers. But at least It kept me entertained. And I'm talking about me laughing out loud and biting my fingernails whenever i read something. I swear. And finally, the ending. I srsly needed to re-read the ending like 4 times. Is2g. It was all thrown at us like a rock, and omg, what EVEN. God, still, I can't even understand it. Anyways, I overall enjoyed it, its not like its unbearable, and I read it in one seating so yeah;4 real wicked stars toAmy's wickedness and fierceness, to Dorothy Gale, To Glinda The Good, Mombi, Queen Lulu, Oz, The Wizard, That Ending, For the laughs & the overall enjoyment. (4 stars probs just for the last 100 pages) (Oh look, just like Dorothy Must Die) (The Endings, man, The Endings) (Is it bad all my faves were the wicked ones?? omg)-1 stars to Nox, that intro, Pete, Ozma, Nox, Ollie, Wingless Ones, Nox, Those Rainbows Shits and did I say Nox? UPDATE#2: its finally out and im pumped to read this WOO.UPDATE#1: I have mixed feelings about reading this because all of the drama surrounding the author, but I've came to a conclusion that I actually read a book for its content not if the author is good or bad. Even though it does actually counts if the author if the author misbehaves, does it really matter? First of all, It wasn't even HER deal she just like agreed to the other author's idea. By the way, that doesn't mean that I also agree because I completely don't, I think it is foolish and unreasonable. But also, you all are judging her in one single opinion she had, and completely ignoring her actual writing skills (which is why im here for), this is her book and it doesn't matter what kind of publicist she has or her life besides it, because I couldn't care less.But also that's everyones deal if they want to support the author as an AUTHOR or a series as a SERIES, see the difference. I like to think, that's why we all are here for, the actual content. We rate a book for its content not the author, we read a book for its content not for the author, so I don't see the logic of people hating in this book before even reading it. But at the end of the day, every person is different and can see this situation different, some people might think the author's personality and ideals are more important than the actual book, and thats alright. I'm just stating my opinion and saying that i would read this book, because I truly enjoyed the first one and I have no reasons to not keep reading the series.

*4.5 Stars* When you claim your name, what will it be? I think there’s a certain standard in which second books are expected to live up to. In no way is it fair, because, especially with me, the first book in a series is always leagues above the rest-it’s just the way it is. When I fall in love with a series, it’s no light thing. I become obsessed and nothing is likely to please me any time soon. That being said-I have high standards. After devouring a 100% 5 star book, I want the same superiority of action and angst in book two. Sadly, though, this rarely happens. And I’m just going to come right out and say it: Compared to book one-a now absolute favorite of mine-this book paled in comparison. Some people spend their whole lives searching for the one thing that they can do to say, I changed the world. I had found that thing. I might not be able to accomplish it, but I was going to die trying. So call me selfish. Second books aren’t all bad, though. They get a bad rap, sure, but there are many good things that come from them, as well. Sometimes it’s the opposite, actually. There have been a few times when the second book by far outshines its predecessor and makes up for boring build-ups with no results. In this case, though, I definitely was missing….something. And while that’s not always a problem, it was in this case-for me.It was frustrating that everyone was so convinced that I had this great potential to be evil, when all I’d done was show up, get thrown in the dungeon by Dorothy, and then follow the Order’s instructions pretty much exactly. I’d fought for what I thought was right. For what I believed in. And now even people like Lulu-people who were supposed to be on the same side as me-seemed suspicious of me because of it. It all felt a little unfair.One: The action. My God I missed the action. There was plenty, I suppose, but the level of intensity was severely lacking based on what I know this author can do. For example, in book one, not every scene was full of fights and battles, but there was just this level of dread with each passing chapter that brought forth a sense of doom and foreboding that made you feel as though something terrible could happen at any minute….whereas in this story it was all build up. It was book two hell, if I’m being honest. With all that foreboding and dread in book one, when a battle scene would actually happen, it was like when you poke a hole in a balloon-it was as though this pressure that had been pressing down on your chest was finally released and you could just breathe, because it had finally happened. But it was so intense that you didn’t care if you were breathing at all, anyway, because wasn’t this exactly what you’d been waiting for? It was the sweetest of evils. In this book, while the action scenes were epic in their own right, they were few and far between and I almost felt….sad….when they happened because I knew there wasn’t much left of the book….and I never felt my breath release like I wanted. Which brings me to my next point.I may not have known how I was doing it, but every time I rose back up, reshaping myself into my own form, I knew what I was doing when I was under there. I was touching the darkness. Two: The length. Talk about wanting to cry…I almost started bawling-no joke-when I saw how short this book was. It was barely even (if at all) half the length of the first book. And the first book was The perfect length, by the way. It was perfect because of how wonderfully paced everything was-every little part had ample time to unwind, to grow, to pull you deeper-you never wanted to stop reading. Never once did it feel rushed, overdone, drawn out, NOTHING. I fell hard and I fell fast and I fell deeper under it’s spell-I STILL think about book one and my heart STILL goes into overdrive as my stomach simultaneously drops out of the bottom of me. This is the biggest downfall for book two, I have to say. The chapters were way too short. You would just start to get into a scene and then it would be over and we would have to move on. There were times where it was nicely paced, but most of the time it didn’t feel…quite right….which was shocking to me after seeing how amazing book one’s pacing was. And, if I’m being completely honest, I’m pretty bitter about the length of this book. I love this author, this series, for life, but I feel cheated. I was ecstatic to pick up book two, only to find out that we were getting such a short story. And I know I know, this is a bridge book for the final story…but never has a book felt like a literal bridge before-because this is exactly what this is-bridging to the fanatical last story (I will be a happy little lark when book three comes out, but, for now, let me just pout).Despite what I’d said to Dorothy’s Fantasm in the Fog of Doubt, and as wicked as I knew I could be when I had to, I had one weakness: kindness.And kindness is a weakness. I can see that now. But it’s a weakness I’m still not sure I’d want to give up entirely.Three: The World Building. I didn’t think I’d ever say this in a review because I really could give two shits less but…..I wanted more. I don’t know what but…more. It was great, it was wonderful but...yeah. That’s all. All over the place, when you looked a little more closely, traces of the city’s former grandeur remained. Amidst all the wreckage, the streets had a sheen that I realized was coming from millions of scattered jewels-emeralds, obviously, but diamonds and rubies and amethysts, too. Here and there, pools of gold melted and then hardened again, like puddles lingering after a thunderstorm.Four: The romance. Believe me when I wholeheartedly say-I LIVE FOR NOX AND AMY’S RELATIONSHIP. I ship them so hard-Especially Nox. He is just…ugh. But that’s why this is [partially] in the negative category. I wanted more. There-I SAID IT. I really, truly, wholeheartedly, needed more. I craved it, I ached for it, and when it finally was within in my clutches, it felt like it was over too soon. See reason two above-I am still a pissy pink elephant about this. Every little bit of the romance was perfection. Well…or Nox was. But I think I’m going to put him in his own little category….just because I can. My point? The romance, while exactly what I wanted, inexplicably Just. Wasn’t. Enough. It was like I was entering a world of shadows. I wasn’t sure how I was doing it, and I wasn’t sure where I was going when I disappeared like that-only that wherever it was, it was cold and foreign and deadly silent. From down there, everything was hazy and slow-motion, and I was outside reality, looking up into it from the darkness like gazing up through a layer of black, muddy water. So, as you can see, while I love this story, it had detrimental issues that stunted my enjoyment. And isn’t that the best way to describe a short story? Choppy, stunted, without the growth I so desperately needed? But here comes my favorite part: The GOOD. Once upon a time a girl named Amy Gumm had come to Oz on a tornado. She had fought hard; she had been loyal and fierce. She had done things she’d never in a million years imagined that she would.One: Amy. Amy might possibly be my favorite heroine ever-at the moment. I think this second book sold her a little short, if I’m being completely honest, but I can’t forget how epic she was in the first….and how epic she continues to be. She’s in the midst of an internal battle within herself that continues to confuse and conflict her. She has conquered the use of magic by learning from Nox and the rest of the order from book one….but this is exactly how it all started with Dorothy, isn’t it? She got a taste of the power, and then it wasn’t enough. She wanted more and more and more…until eventually ruling an entire kingdom wasn’t enough. It wasn’t enough to control everyone, she needed them to fear and worship her, as well. And now the dark magic is making it’s way to Amy, and she struggles to stifle it with each new battle and after every new hard decision is made. She is becoming someone she doesn’t recognize….and I loved every minute of her internal conflicts. And perhaps the brightest point of her life, her most grounded ally, is the adorable warlock, Nox. She had been both good and wicked and everything in between. She had been both at once, too, until it was very hard for her to even tell the difference anymore.Two: Nox. My beautiful, messy-haired boy, Nox. He is just so wonderful. I absolutely adored him-from book one until now he has left such a mark on my heart. I can hardly think about this series without getting all mushy and sighing when I think about this poor orphaned boy who fights for the only thing he has ever known to strive for-his freedom from Dorothy. But what he doesn’t know? What happens after. Who will he become? What will he do? What will his purpose be? We get to see a more vulnerable side to Nox in this book, and I devoured each and every moment he was a part of. I almost would go so far as to say I didn’t think he was treated the way he should have been…I’m very protective of my boy. A beacon of light for Amy’s impending darkness, her voice of reason, and her greatest ally and friend. Nox, just like in book one, stole the show. I am obsessed with him and CANNOT WAIT for more of him in book three-I need his HEA. My last glimpse of Nox back in the city kept flashing through my mind: his dark, always-messy hair, his broad shoulders and skinny, sinewy arms. The determined tilt of his jaw, and that look of almost arrogant pride. The anger that was always coiled deep in his chest finally ready to burst out and strike down everything that stood in his way, all of it to save Oz, the home that he loved. No, not just that. To save me, too.Three: The villains. I love these guys. They are complex. They back up what they say. They do what’s best for THEM. They are truly evil. You don’t get false threats with any of them-They say what they mean and they mean what they say. You will feel the pain. You will hurt. You will be upset by what they do-they sugar coat nothing. They are the true definition of evil…and they blur the lines of hate/like/love-because they are truly addicting in their ruthlessness. Wicked-Wickeder-Wickedest-who would you want to go up against? I’m not so sure. "I. Know. Who. I. AM,” I said again, more confidently this time with each word bringing forth every bit of the power, the rage, and-yeah-the wickedness, that had been building inside of me since I was just a little girl. “And I’m willing to fight for it.”Four: Everything I don’t have time to mention. The beautiful descriptions. The amazing world and everything that pulls me so deeply out of reality-when I’m in this world, there’s no where else I’d rather be. That’s so hard to achieve these days. The writing-it’s so amazing. How every little detail matters. Amy’s inner monologues. The vivid imagination that goes into each and every moment….the list goes on and on. There is no end to how engrossing this series is. The rainbows washed over me. It was like I was being spun in some Willy Wonka version of a washing machine. A neon palette swirled around me as I tumbled: hot pink, electric blue, candy-apple red, grape-soda purple, and every color imaginable in between, all of them zooming downward into infinity in a twisting, death-defying flume, carrying me faster than even seemed possible. So, while this was not what I wanted it to be, I still loved it. I love this series, this world, these characters-I am obsessed with them. Be it good or evil, each and every character is so addicting. We even get more of the lovable Pete in this one!! And, in a super weird way, I get so excited when Dorothy appears. She is so sickeningly sweet…it’s endearing. She might even be my favorite villain EVER. Amy’s journey is one that I can’t seem to get out of my head, and she and Nox’s relationship brings me to a whole new level of fangirling. Maybe that’s why I had so many things I was disappointed about…I just needed so much more of what I loved, and I didn’t get it. So, without making this even longer than it really is, just know that I am going CRAZY knowing I have to wait for book three. It might just kill me…but it’s one of those wonderful pains-you know it’s worth the wait. For more of my reviews, please visit:

This is my third time around reading this book and my thoughts remain the same, I freaking LOVED it!!! Dorothy Must Die was utterly amazing but The Wicked Will Rise is on a whole other level! This book is nonstop action and twists and turns the whole way through. I really love this re-telling, it's really just absolutely perfect. I've also grown to really love the characters, and most of all, grown to love the delicious wickedness of this series and how it just turns everything about the story you know upside down and creates something so damn WICKED!

WOW!!! What an amazing sequel. I loved how it picked up exactly after how the first book ended. I loved the characters. I loved the storyline. I literally loved EVERYTHING about this book and I mean EVERYTHING. It's all kind of AWESOMENESS.

Full Review on The Candid Cover Returning to Danielle Paige’s Oz never felt so good! Amy Gumm is back as a strong and sassy main character who knows how to fight. Also, the setting of Oz is so familiar, yet completely different from what you imagined. Finally, the plot is filled with so many twists and turns you will be furiously turning the pages to find out what happens next!One of the things that I really love about The Wicked Will Rise is how strong the main character, Amy Gumm, is. Sometimes in young adult literature, female main characters are portrayed as weak and defenseless. Amy is definitely not one of those characters. She has attitude and knows how to fight for what she wants! The YA genre needs more books like this to support females and inspire strength within girls.The method that Danielle Paige uses to describe Oz, in this retelling of The Wizard of Oz, is so fantastic! I absolutely adore how the same landmarks are included, such as the infamous yellow brick road, which makes reading so relatable and enjoyable. Danielle Paige gives the reader a sense of familiarity and then crushes those childhood memories with Oz’s new dark and scary setting. Retellings that take the same setting, but turn it completely upside-down are so wickedly good!Another amazing component to The Wicked Will Rise is its unpredictable plot. Throughout the beginning of the book, it seems like all is going according to plan. Find Dorothy, kill her, restore the magic to Oz, right? Wrong. When the reader least expects it, BAM! Major plot twist. This isn’t the typical plot twist that will surprise the reader and then they’ll get over it after a few minutes. The plot twists in these books are so powerful that they will cause readers to put the book down and process what just happened in the book. You will have to read the book to see for yourself what I’m talking about!This book seems short, but really, it is jam-packed with suspense and action. If you are a fan of the classic story of The Wizard of Oz, I highly recommend The Wicked Will Rise to you! Of course, read the first book, Dorothy Must Die, before picking up The Wicked Will Rise.

Full Review on my blog!The first book was a bit more entertaining, but I still really enjoyed this one! This was a great sequel!One of the things that I really love about The Wicked Will Rise is how strong the main character, Amy Gumm, is. Amy Gumm is a really good heroine. Flawed, as expected but I really saw her develop in this book; discovering more about herself, and realizing who she is and who she will become. I loved how she went through with what she believed in. I know, I know that probably sounds stupid but still …. :c Amy has these amazing powers that are connected to darkness, and didn’t try to stop using them, but rather welcomed them and she tried her best to control it. I love the relationship between Amy and Nox, I liked how the story didn’t revolve around them which was nice; it was literally perfect. Throughout the beginning of the book, it seems like all is going according to plan. Get the Tin Man’s heart, the Lion’s tail, and the Scarecrow’s brain before she can properly kill Dorothy, restore the magic to Oz, right? Wrong. When the reader least expects it, BAMMM! Major plot twist. This isn’t a typical plot twist that will surprise you and then you’ll get over it in a few minutes. No, no, no! The plot twists in this series so far are very powerful, and amazing and will make you LOVE the series!I know this book seems really short, but it’s jam-packed with suspense and action. Danielle Paige does an amazing job describing Oz. I absolutely LOVEEEE how she includes the same landmarks, like the yellow brick road, the Emerald City, which really makes reading so enjoyable. What makes this book even better is the character development, an improved story line and more plot twists.I REALLY, REALLY LOVED THIS SEQUEL. Y'all should definitely check this series out! I highly recommend it!Check out my reviews of the rest of this series!Dorothy Must DieThe Wicked Will RiseYellow Brick WarThe End of Oz_____________________________Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Facebook | Store

And so, just like the first one, I finished this in a few hours.(Note: I won't be writing a full length review for this one, because a lot of the things I said in my review for the first book apply to this too.)Anyways, I love love loveeeeed the first one, and I loved this one too. Honestly I had thought that my excitement for the book would've dimmed, after reading some novellas that had just been "eh" - but nope, the story drew me in, stole my heart, and crushed it into a million pieces, over and over again.Oh, but the difference between this one and the first was: in book two, we definitely get to see more of Amy as a person - she becomes even more multilayered as a character, and there's more about her internal conflict and the constant battle between the good and evil that's inside her, not just the one that's happening in Oz.But anyways. There definitely were a lot of twists, and I definitely felt a lot of feelings.STAR. NOX.Nope, nope, nope. Too many feels right now.

An updated review can be found on my blog later today, but here is the one I originally wrote.Okay, so I didn't like this one as much as I liked Dorothy Must Die, but it was still a wonderful book. It took me about 2 days to finish, whereas the first one I read in one sitting. And her pet rat dies. I can never forgive a book where an animal dies!Still, the book was amazing as we learn more about Oz and Ozma, destroy more symbols of my childhood, and are left on the end-all-be-all of cliffhangers.

A continuation of one of my favourite re-tellings. Great adventures and great characters really draw you in to the land of Oz. 4.25/5

OH. MY. GOSH. amazing book. like I cannot stress enough how awesome it is. seriousley, I don't even know how i'm gonna write a review. okay, so............yep, first I have to get my feelings sorted out. just a sec.i'm ready. first off i'm just gonna say how much i'm glad this didn't turn out like most typical books do. I honestly didn't think it would be sucky, but not this great either. this had me captivated from the first page. there wasn't a single moment where I was bored. no kidding. okay, I guess I could start with the characters.AmyI could not love an MC more, amy was just....the best. I loved how she went through with what she believed in. I know that sounds corny, but still. I loved how she had powers connected to (view spoiler)[darkness, and didn't try to stop using them, but rather welcomed them. I loved how in the ending, she did stab dorothy, but I loooved how dorothy couldn't die. (hide spoiler)] I absolutely loved her relationship with Nox, because the story didn't revolve around them, but still made it perfect. hmm, basically I love every choice she made and all her actions too.Nox do I really have to say anything about him? I think it's a given that he was just perfect, and I loved his roll in the story.Dorothy I guess I have to talk about her, don't I? sigh. okay, she was just the queen bitch she always was. there's a lot of other characters, but let me just say they fit in amazingly. I loved every single one.now there's the plot. just read the blurb, and multiply it by 100% awesomeness. does that make sense? whatever.in short, this was the best book I could've hoped for. which is saying a lot. I cannot wait till the next book!

Los malvados se alzarán, segunda parte de la saga "¡Dorothy debe morir!" de Danielle Paige. Esta continuación ha empezado fuerte, con nuevos peligros y aventuras que nuestra protagonista Amy Gumm deberá llevar a cabo para conseguir su mayor propósito y poder cumplir su misión, matar a Dorothy de una vez por todas. La trama está llena de nuevos personajes y escenarios con encanto de los que no podrás evitar soñar con viajar a ellos. Con nuevos giros inesperados, revelaciones y traiciones que harán que no puedas soltar el libro. Y un desenlace totalmente a la altura del primer libro, dejándote con la miel en los labios.

Un poco más flojo que el primero, pero bastante bueno. Demasiados sentimientos encontrados hacia algunos personajes. Solo espero que ese no sea el final y que haya un tercer tomo, porque NO PUEDE SER. “If you're afraid, you must still be a little bit human.”

** spoiler alert ** "The sky opened up. And Kansas rained down on us." That ending? So many questions! The Wizard is dead and Kansas is Oz and Oz is Kansas?! I need the next book so I can get some answers!

*This review is also on my blog Less Reality More Books*I really enjoyed Dorothy Must Die, so was looking forward to the sequel to see how our characters had grown since the last book. Amy has become much more confident in herself and her abilities, both physically and magically. She’s using her magic a lot more and is getting quite good at it. Like in the first book, she was quite snippy and sarcastic, and always had a comeback to every situation. I found her quite relatable and really enjoyed her narrative. I feel like we would’ve made the same type of decisions if we had been put in the same situation. She was also very good at describing the magic by using everyday examples, as if I’m completely honest I found the magic a little confusing in this book, but she totally helped me understand it.However, just like Dorothy did when she first discovered magic, Amy is being tempted by the darkness to turn wicked. While she tries to ignore the temptation in the beginning, it’s getting harder and harder to avoid the darkness and I can feel Amy start to give in. I loved the way Paige handled this, and how Amy grew as a character because of this darkness.If I had any nitpicky bits, it was the romance. Just like in the first book, it was basically non-existent and when it was there, it seemed quite forced. It was like Paige believed she had to have some kind of a romance in somewhere so just created one out of the blue and just threw it in. it wasn’t believable and there wasn’t any chemistry between Amy and her so-called love interest, Nox. Sometimes they were kissing and trying to be cute and other times he was pushing her away. It was confusing at best and awkward at worst. If you’re going to read this book for any reason, do it for the world building. For everything Paige messed up in this book, it completely cancels how completely perfectly she created the world of Oz. it was whimsical and beautiful and imaginative and had great magical twists. We delve deeper in the both the light and dark sections of Oz, which Paige nailed flawlessly. She also created a great cliffhanger that made me aching for more but also left many doors open for the finale of this trilogy. And I, for one, can’t wait.

Why you should read it: I loved Dorothy Must Die. It was a new concept, and seeing Oz with all my favorite characters being evil was unique! In this sequel we still see Amy "reacting," though she continues to get stronger and stronger. We get to see her and Nox (Nox fans will love!), and we get to see more sides of her. I love that Amy is fighting/embracing being good vs. being wicked. Especially since in Oz everything is gray, and what is good can be wicked and the other way around. I have to say that the best (worst?) part of this series is the creep factor of the "good" guys. The Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow (shudder) really make this series. Things are only worse in The Wicked Will Rise. Readers will shudder, cringe and pump their fists with Amy as she discovers what she's capable of. The audio version is spectacular, and I'm listening to the first one now and feel narrator Devon Sorvari brings the characters to life, the good, the bad and the wicked!To see what Danielle has to say about Dorothy, The Tinman, The Scarecrow and the Lion head over to the HEA blog!http://www.usatoday.com/story/happyev...

I liked the first one better but this was still good. I really liked the Monkey queendom. Lulu is adorable in her own crazy way. The story of Pete is quite interesting but I am so unsure what to think of what is going on there..more CRAZY. Oh yeah. That sums of just about everyone in this book!! INSANE lol. There are a lot of twists and turns and the end is a doozy! Although if you have read the first volume of the Dorothy Must Die stories it is a bit less a shock, but still I doubt you'll see part of it. This book left me practically biting my knuckles wanting to get to the next book when I first read it.2022- Audiobook time! I had forgotten so much about this book. The characters we are introduced to that had so brief a story (Sad about a lot of that). Lulu is hilarious and the narrator NAILS the voice! So much is revealed and a lot of violence. Oh how dark things get! The magic is running wild with Amy and I never knew what to expect next from her.
