Praise for the DOROTHY MUST DIE series: "Readers of Baum's books will take special delight in seeing new twists on the old characters, and they will greet the surprise climactic turnabout with the smugness of insiders." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Dorothy Must Die is kind of the ultimate in girl-powered literature. Here, women and girls are allowed to be anything." -- Nerdist.com
"Gone are the days of rainbows, Lollipop Guilds and pretty much anything to sing about in a major key. For those willing to go on a quest with a heroine more attuned to our times than the Dust Bowl era, there's no place like it." -- USA Today
"Paige doesn't hold back in this fast-paced action novel. Give this cinematic upper-YA novel to fans of A. G. Howard's Splintered, Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars, and TV shows such as Once Upon a Time and Grimm." -- School Library Journal
"Paige delivers a solid, intense, and strange narrative that draws deeply on its source material." -- Publishers Weekly
"L. Frank Baum would be proud because Danielle Paige really makes Oz - even a modern, dystopian version of it - her own in the enjoyable sequel to Dorothy Must Die." -- USA Today
"Paige is creating a rather brilliantly twisted version of the familiar world of Oz." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Paige has embellished upon the original Wizard of Oz story to create a completely new, even more bizarre Oz and cast of characters. Her world building is fascinating." -- ALA Booklist
"One wonder-filled volume. Paige continues to weave an intricate spell that will delight series fans." -- School Library Journal
"For anyone who likes a good story turned on its head, Dorothy Must Die is a must-read." -- Huffington Post
"The Wizard of Oz as you've never seen it." -- Teen Vogue
"Paige's world building is intriguing and effectively augments the original world created by L. Frank Baum." -- ALA Booklist
