About the book
Fairy Tale Survival Rule #32: If you
find yourself at the mercy of a wicked witch, sing a romantic ballad and
wait for your Prince Charming to save the day.
Yeah, no thanks. Dorthea is completely princed out. Sure being the crown princess of Emerald has its perks―like Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels. But a forced marriage to the not-so-charming prince Kato is so not what Dorthea had in mind for her enchanted future.
Talk about unhappily ever after.
Trying to fix her prince problem by wishing on a (cursed) star royally backfires, leaving the kingdom in chaos and her parents stuck in some place called "Kansas." Now it's up to Dorthea and her pixed off prince to find the mysterious Wizard of Oz and undo the curse...before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story.
My thoughts about the book
1. Did you get lost in the book? Yes I did, I read this book on the way down to the beach and back. I could not up it down. Had to make myself to up it down when we made break stops along the way lol.
2. Was the character development intriguing? Yes it was. To follow along with Dorthea and her friends in their journey was very intriguing.
3. Did you care about the characters? In some ways yes I did. I felt Dorthea's saddness of when something went wrong and her happiness when things went right.
4. What is your favorite quote from the book? "The pages are turning and there is more at stake than one girl's happiness. You'll have to make a choice and someone will lose. So for Grimm's sake, use your head."
5. Why was it your favorite quote? Because it speaks volumes. It shows that no matter something will not go someone's way. That it is better to use your head when deciding on things.
6. Was there anything you disliked about the book? No there was nothing in the book that I disliked.
