If it wasn’t for the smut, it wouldn’t be worth reading. While an interesting idea, the fractured (more like shattered) telling of the Wizard of Oz could use some character development.

I appreciated the idea of the female m/c being the true villain, however the entire book is predictable and nothing new.
