Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  Sholee | Sep 9, 2021 |   I understand the necessity of fast pace. Of a big tale that has to be told in a certain amount of pages. Believe me, I do. But this was way too much, way too fast. Within a couple of chapters the main villainess was judged guilty and insane, banished to the wastelands, found a place to stay, a new army to raise, and a new place to call her kingdom. She walked up to the gates of the Emerald City, strutting her stuff, and took only a few pages to completely annihilate every and any person who stood in her way to claim the throne. I reached page 13 before I stopped. Would I go on even if I had to wait a few more chapters for the story to actually get good? No, thank you! In stories like this, you need a little bit more detail. This was not fair to the plot, the characters, and generally anything that Baum has gifted readers with. If you are to use a pre-made universe for your book, you should at least be a little considerate to how it operates and give it a story it truly deserves. THIS story, was not it. ***I was given an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Given the length of the book and the large number of characters, there is very little character development here. Still, it is fast-paced with lots of action so a pretty decent read if you’re looking for something to fill a lazy afternoon.

"The literary equivalent of a masterful musical masterpiece...The Battle for Oz is practically made for a Tim Burton big screen adaptation." --Young Entertainment Magazine When a foreign queen invades Oz and steals its citizens' magic, the land turns to someone who has aided them before: Dorothy. But the silver-slippered girl has grown up, and in her years away from Oz the game has changed. So, in order to defeat this new and unfamiliar enemy, Dorothy seeks the aid of Alice, a legendary woman who once famously defeated a queen. Feathered Quill calls The Battle For Oz "a fascinating book that lets the reader's imagination soar to new heights." No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

A surprisingly cool read for a book with great known characters! Although I have only watched the movies and not read Oz nor Wonderland before, I kept imagining the characters as those from the movies hence my reading journey was really entertaining. For example, the New Queen was Helena Bonham Carter and Hatter was Johnny Depp LOL! The author truly has a good imagination, merging both worlds together into a great fantasy. Am I right to anticipate a book 2?
