Yellow Brick War audiobook

I think this has to be my favourite out of the series so far! This book was nonstop action from start to finish and had so many twists and turns that I honestly had no idea what could or would possibly happen next. The characters had so much growth from the previous book to this one and it was really interesting to see them evolve and the changes from the first book in the series to this one. This series has definitely been cemented as one of my faves, I just love how wicked it is and the twist it throws on one of my fave fairytales!

I haven't put this book down since I started it. The fact that I had such a busy weekend made it impossible for me to finish in one sitting, but every chance I got, I was listening to it. The cliffhanger has given me a heart attack. Since I've been listening to the audiobook, I didn't know that it was ending so soon. There was still so much that needed to happen! I just don't know how to feel. I need to catch my breath and go cry a little bit.Full review to come later. After I've bawled my eyes out.

Full Review on The Candid Cover4.5 StarsAfter reading the two previous books in the Dorothy Must Die series, I wasn't sure if Yellow Brick War was going to be as incredible, but it was! The story is so unique and the main character is just so spunky. This book is a little more modern than the others, but I was really intrigued by the way everything connects.This series is honestly unlike any other. The Dorothy Must Die books are my favourite Wizard of Oz retellings and definitely among my favourite retellings ever. I love how the plot is pretty much the complete opposite of the classic tale and how much sass is in the stories. I feel like this is exactly the kind of retelling that I like the best.Amy Gumm is such an entertaining main character. She is sassy, smart, and strong. I admired the fact that she doesn't take crap from anyone and can totally defend herself. In this particular book, I noticed that Amy becomes more developed as a character. I really felt like I knew her a lot better compared to the other two books after reading this one. Of course, Amy has her flaws and questionable moments, but they only make her more realistic.I found it really interesting how Yellow Brick War is a little more modern than the rest of the series. Amy has to go back to her high school and is reconnected with everyone there, even the people she hates. I enjoyed the change in setting, even though I love Oz. The way everything is incorporated was just so satisfying, especially Amy's new and unexpected friends.Yellow Brick War is a unique Wizard of Oz retelling with a clever and sassy main character, This instalment is more modern than the others, which I really enjoyed. If you haven't started this series yet, I 100% recommend it.

2017... It better be 1000 pages long or else

Full Review on my blog!Ahhhh! I absolutely love this series! This series has gradually gotten better with each book, and I love how much every character has developed thus far. I’m really enjoying Danielle Paige’s style of writing and the overall premise and mythology of her take on OZ is soooo enth

THE REVIEWWhy this book?I love this seriesWhat I thoughtIt ended on a cliffhanger. Which means more books!!!"Forget the order I've fallen inlove with you too"Gosh I love this series!! The characters remain amazing, and The book was fast paced and full of action! Amy is back and she's still one hell of a kick ass heroine. I was afraid I wasn't gonna like this one. Mainly because The book starts off in Kansas and Danielle Paige was messing with my ship. I hated how she was treated in Kansas in the first book, but was happy that things changed for her this time around. I loved the movie Return to OZ growing up so I was happy to see the Nome King. I had a feeling we were going to see him after Ruler of Beasts, but what surprised me was the lack of Dorothy and Glinda. With that said I noticed this wasn't as dark as the other books, and was less ominous. Overall a great installment and I can't wait for the next!

This series is an adventure and I love it

THESE BOOKS GIVE ME SO MANY FEELINGS.Sigh, I can't believe I have to wait till next year for the fourth book...But anyways.Like always, this book was full of adventure, full of action.AND THE AMOUNT OF PLOT TWISTS HERE. Holy guacamole.Amy's internal battles between good and evil continue, but we really do see a lot of character development on her part.Things are definitely shaken up in this book - we see a lot of old characters and old places that we realize are more than what they seem.All in all, I'd say it was such a roller coaster ride and I look forward to seeing how the adventure continues.

Al principio me ha costado algo meterme en la historia por el cambio que ha dado la autora. Pero después llegué a cierta parte del libro y es completamente adictivo, encontramos nuevos retos para Amy y nuevos enemigos que nos dejarán los vellos de punta. Que ganas de leer el final. Pronto reseña completa en el blog: www.rubiesliterarios.com

At first I wasn't sure about this book since it started back in Kansas and Amy had to spend some time there, and there were some things happening that didn't make me happy. (view spoiler)[Saying Nox and Amy couldn't be together was one of the big ones (hide spoiler)] I also struggled with the fact that I wasn't sure where she would end up in the end of the book. Since I thought this was the last book. I thought it starting in Kansas meant that was the answer, but now that I found out it isn't just a trilogy I can appreciate it better. Now looking back I realize Amy needed the beginning of this book. Not that I want her Kansas bound by the end of the series (view spoiler)[Okay if Nox is with her I wouldn't mind (hide spoiler)] It's just that when she left she felt so unloved and didn't have anything she thought she had to go back to, but now she sees she does. I know I'm not the only one who felt bad for her in the first book, but now we got to see that she is loved and that her Mother is truly trying to be better. I felt it odd that the main enemy shifted in this book to the Nome King, and now it seems like all of this was his doing. In all the books and the prequels until the last it seemed that Glinda was the true enemy to take down, but now they have a whole new one. I don't know how I feel about that right now. It kinda felt like it came out of nowhere. Maybe it's because this was supposed to just be a trilogy, but isn't anymore. So the author had to give them someone else to save Oz from. Loving the Return to Oz movie as a kid I'm not disappointed he's part of the series now, and I'm kinda hoping we get to see some of his own bad guys like the Wheelers, and wonder if we're going to see anything else from Eve. I don't want to go on much further, and spoil anything, but things get even more complicated for Amy and The Wicked and we get some development, but are left questioning how much development there really is. By that I mean how much do we think is over and resolved will stay that way? We got a surprise in the end of this book and I know there's more to come in the next. Also we know Amy is no longer able to use Oz's magic or might turn corrupted like Dorothy. So I want to see how that turns out, because she's going to need to use more magic to defeat what's coming, but I have a feeling our girl at the end will turn out okay. Again the author has me anxiously waiting for the next book to see what will happen next!Something I must say though is that I'm excited we get more books, but I wish I knew that fact before I read this, because I was getting really confused towards the end, since I knew there was still so much to be accomplished, and not enough time to do it. Also I feel the last book should be more action packed and have more impact than this book. Which made me disappointed in this book at first, but now that I know that it's just another part of the series I feel so much better about it, and enjoy it more.Overall another great part of the series and I can't wait for more!

I love this series so much! I thought it was pretty cool that a large part of this book takes place back in Kansas where Amy Gumm is on the search for Dorothy's silver shoes. The last couple of chapters left me reeling! With what happened, I am super curious as to what is going to happen in the last book of the series!

This is post originally on Vivian's Book Pavilion Finally, after 365 days…I’m going to write the review, why? Because it’s SO GREAT that I LOVE it and couldn’t say anything until now. Fine…after 365 days is a fake, and I didn’t write the review because I’ve caught a cold recently and after I finished my schoolwork? I’m exhausted. But you know what? THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT EXPECT THE FACT THAT I NEED TO WAIT FOR The End of Oz UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!!! I NEED IT, RIGHT NOW!!!!! This series just successfully grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go. And who knows? I’ve also become a slave of Amy Gunn. (Perhaps…also Nox’s?) A bit crazy, am I? NOOO!!!! THAT’S THE MAGIC OF Oz INFECTING YOU!!!! I really like the summary of Dorothy Must Die series. See? It gives us detail and never reveal too much! Well..i think that’s not my point. The point is…HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE THROUGH THESE MONTHS UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!!! Great. I really really like how this book goes. You might think…going back to Kansas? Isn’t that what happens in Shade of Doon? Like…why every modern person need to go back to their hometown? But, instead of cutting all her connection from the past, she gained some new friendship this time. She was no longer the Salvation Amy. And even her return to Oz was a mess. A total mess. Schemes behind schemes, betrayal behind betrayal. Once, I’ve though the Wizard might be one of the biggest twisted among the entire series, now? I’m sure it wasn’t. It is just one of those tiny little schemes behind all. You wish for Amy and Nox’s happily ever after? BOOM! Amy killed Dorothy and end everything? BOOM! Go home once again? BOOM! Everything into ashes. Please behold—An Oz in the Ashes. (Really?) NO ONE BELIEVES ME. BUT I WENT. THEY’LL BE SORRY ONE DAY EVERY ONE THAT SAID I LYED. It’s always interesting to dig out someone’s past, no matter the protagonists’ or the villains’. What about Dorothy’s? EXTRA exciting. Yellow Brick War has one great thing as The Wicked Will Rise. They all went on with a pretty fast pace. Like, awfully quick. One day you’re in Oz, the next day you’re out. (That sound like Project Runway…never mind. ) Amy dropped in Kansas, the Wicked left her, Nox…well…not “exactly” abandon her, Amy went to her mother and school, find the shoes of Dorothy, blablabla. (I think I almost give you the biggest spoiler!!! Shiver.) By the way, this book has always got some brilliant ideas, and I love them all. let’s move on to Amy, right? Amy changed a lot throughout the entire series, especially as you see her from Dorothy Must Die, the Salvation Amy and the Dark Amy in The Wicked Will Rise. Now, since Amy and Nox both know what will happen if she keeps on using the magic, they…or Nox try to avoid her from using. But how are you going to defeat Dorothy without Magic? Let alone…? Here’s the great thing about Amy, she used the things around her. they might also be magic, Oz’s magic is still dangerous to her, but she conquered it. I’m not saying that she is kind and heart-warming like Ozma…or a bit out of her mind. But she really started to know herself in this book, by someone else’s aid. And I really like that. Especially the ending scene for Dorothy in this book. Some think her as idiot or insane…but I think that’s courage. And Nox is great to support her all these times. “Get it together, Amy!” the witch whispered. “We’re not here for you to win daughter of the year.” The Wicked! Few of the most interesting characters to read in this book. (Especially Nox.) As we know, the Order aren’t exactly good, but they’re not exactly bad either. They fight for Oz, that’s for all, at least for now. Who knows? Perhaps we’ll see Wicked fighting Wicked someday. And although they sometime seemed to be old freaky bat sometime, I think they do are for each other, including Amy. I know, it’s hard not to become BFF during those dangerous time when you’ve been through them together, even for the Wicked. And that’s great! Splendid! However…still…I sometime want to hit Nox on his head, but he was getting better. Amy and Nox, both of them. I don’t know what will happen to them, especially those Wicked watching them all the time, but everything will be find. (Since they’re now alone.) Don’t scream…yet. They’re not exactly alone. But that situation made me hurt for Madison and Mombi. Really hurt. What? Oh! You say Madison? Who is she? Remember the Queen Bee in Amy’s high school? She did play an important part in this book…kind of. I dare say she will be very vital in the last as well. That’s great! The old enemies are together! So? “Get yourselves together and read Yellow Brick War!”

I am so loving this series! I love that Amy (view spoiler)[makes it back to Kansas and gets to see her mother again, who is doing much better. (hide spoiler)]. There is more fighting between Amy and Dorothy, and more romance between Nox and Amy, and more magic from the three witches. Amy also finds Dorothy's ruby slippers, and wears them herself but (view spoiler)[they change into silver leather combat boots (hide spoiler)]. But the battle isn't over yet...

Y yo que pensaba que esto sería una trilogía... Pero al parecer hay más de 3 libros. Eso, o el final es demasiado abierto o no concluyente. No me mal interpretéis, estos libros me están encantando. La autora crea un Oz que da gusto, y usa la historia original de una manera brillante. Los personajes son increíbles, llenos de personalidad, y nunca sabes qué pasará en la siguiente página. Personalmente recomiendo esta serie, puesto a que no se hace pesada de leer ni nada por el estilo. Si te gusta el mundo de Oz, estos libros te extasiarán. “Nobody sings you lullabies in the middle of a war.”
