The dark side of Oz

I really enjoyed this novel. It’s so different from the movie, but that’s part of what made it so interesting. The darkness of Oz and the Wizard permeated the story, and I liked getting to know the Wicked Witch of the West as a sympathetic quasi-freedom fighter.

The writing can get almost cloying at times, but that didn’t really dampen my enjoyment of the book.
