No Place Like Oz - Danielle Paige (Dorothy Must Die 0.5)

The next Dorothy Must Die won't be out until next year, so I thought to get my fix of this twisted world, I would read the prequel! There is also another book coming out this year in the series, The Witch Must Burn, which is 1.5 in the series.
I was very intrigued with this series because I love the Wizard of Oz story, and I love it when someone takes a story like that and twists it into something creepy and weird. Plus, the cover was completely awesome and caught my eye.
I do believe this prequel is from the perspective and focus of Dorothy herself - her story of how she got back to Oz after leaving to go back to Kansas. It may give a little bit of insight into the character of Dorothy and I am excited to see how the writing style of Paige transforms throughout the series and development of the characters.

'After returning to Kansas, Dorothy Gale has realised that the dreary 
fields of Kansas don't compare to the vibrant landscapes of Oz. And 
although she's happy to be reunited with Aunt Em, she misses her friends
from the yellow brick road. But most of all, Dorothy misses the fame and 
the adventure. In Kansas she's just another Prairie girl, but in Oz she was 
a hero. So Dorothy is willing to do anything to get back, because there
really is no place like Oz. But returning to the land she left comes at a 
price, and after Dorothy is through with it, Oz will never be the same.'
