I donāt think I would have finished this book if I was reading the physical copy. I listened mostly to the audio book. There is nothing wrong with this book, itās got an interesting plot! I just think Iāve grown out of YA for a while.Ā

The entire book is a set-up for a ābig revealā you know about all alongā¦. Because itās listed on the back cover. Some YA books can hold an adult audienceā¦ Iām not sure this is one of them. What differentiates it from other Oz retellings is the sheer amount of gore and horror. Donāt read if you canāt stomach graphic violence. The forced āenemies to loversā romance trope is slapdash and unnecessary, and the constant repetition of ādonāt trust anyoneā is tiresome and makes it difficult to commit to any of the characters. Iāll read the next book, solely because it seems to center the heroās journey this book only unfairly teases.Ā
Graphic: Body horror, Blood, Gore, and Violence
Moderate: Confinement
