“The road was pulsing with a strange, golden energy, stretching ahead of us until it dwindled to a point on the horizon.” “Nox ran up to me, picked me up off my feet, and twirled me around while I giggled with delight.” “And remember as in all of us, it is only your capacity for wickedness that makes selflessness possible.” “Trust in yourself, but do not place your trust easily in others.” “I followed, telling myself the pain in my ribs was just exhaustion and not my heart breaking into a million little pieces inside my chest.” “Kindness can be a weakness, too,” Nox said, not taking his eyes off Pete.” It’s just more stuff for someone to ruin.” “Now, though, it’s like it doesn’t matter how beautiful it is. “I was stuck in Oz with no ability to protect myself, dependent on a boy who couldn’t love me, unable to save my mom from the thing that was going to destroy her. “Either way, I was apparently going to be cursed with a glittery pink nemesis everywhere I went.” “The more things change, the more they stay the same, I thought bitterly.” “… who was going to be next on the list of people I had to hurt in order to survive?” “Caring too much only meant you were that much easier to hurt.” “It was like holding a grudge against your grandmother for accidentally burning your favorite cookies.” This series goes beyond the laws of what I could have imagined in my dreams, so I applaud Danielle Paige for her storytelling.“My feelings for him were way more complicated than that-and I’d thought he cared about me.” This Oz retelling is possibly my favorite so far- even more than Wicked. (although not a super satisfying one) I realize I might be rambling on here, but I do really love this series and I would recommend it in a heartbeat. It just didn’t happen in a satisfying way, if that makes sense.Īll in all, I am happy with the ending (mostly because it hints that there could be more) but also because it was a good ending. It was mainly a massive lead up to said wedding, wedding happened quickly, and then it was over. The entire book is leading up to a massive wedding, but I felt like it lacked a lot. I think if I go back and read Dorothy’s novella, it will probably have a lot to do with her narrative in this book. I didn’t love that so much, as switching up a series in the last book isn’t my favorite. This book was very interesting, as they added in Dorothy as a narrator this time. Instead of being as epic and exploring the new realm, we find our heroes in caves underground, and back in Kansas in the end. They have been in the clouds, in castles, in caves, and even back in Kansas, however in The End of Oz they find themselves in a new realm.

Every Dorothy Must Die book has been so epic.
