Before
THE END OF OZ
.
I can’t believe it has finally come to an
end!!!!!
And I love it so
much!!!!! How can I say goodbye to Nox??? He just becomes so cute in the
book!!!!! I hope there will be other series after this, we definitely need it. I
just keep laughing and crying while reading this book!!!! It gives me so much
feeling!!!! Ahhh!!!! And that finale touch!!! I just love how all it come to an
end, after all, this is Oz.
DING DONG—DOROTHY IS DEAD.
I watched as the Emerald Palace
crumbled to the ground, burying Dorothy, the Girl Who Rode the Cyclone, under
the rubble. And now that the rightful ruler, Ozma, has been restored to the
throne…
OZ IS FINALLY FREE.
My name is Amy Gumm. You might
remember me as the “other” girl from Kansas. When a tornado whisked me away to
the magical land of Oz, I was given a mission: Dorothy must die.
BUT IT TURNS OUT GIRLS FROM
KANSAS ARE HARDER TO KILL THAN WE LOOK.
Now the Road of Yellow Brick is
leading me away from Oz to the dark world of Ev, where I have a new, powerful
enemy to deal with: the Nome King. And—surprise—he has a gingham-clad bride.
With my magical shoes and a
shrinking group of allies, I have one final chance to fulfill my mission, and
save not only what’s left of Oz, but Kansas, too. As the line between Good and
Wicked blurs even further, I have to find a way to get rid of Dorothy once and
for all—without turning into a monster myself.
DOROTHY ONCE SAID THERE’S NO
PLACE LIKE HOME. CAN I STOP HER FROM DESTROYING MINE?
First of all, Dorothy
is alive?! That is…she is such a cockroach. And what?! The Nome King has a
bride?! What the hell is going on??? The truth is, even though this book still
got great plot twists and wonderful characters…it’s not as epic as you think it
is. Besides, if you are a fan of the Order…you might be a little bit
disappointed with this book…since…they just disappear? 
I know, I know, I hate
that as well…but since Danielle Paige has other plans for Amy and Nox and
Madison? Just wait and see. Really, except from the Order simply washed out, I
love how the author put every Oz story into The End of Oz, more and more
details are added into the original, and killing Dorothy wasn’t the option any
more. “Defeat” her is. And to be honest, the ending of Dorothy give me quite a
shock. It never appeared to me that it might end that way, or how Amy was given
the choice to do so. The ending was happy, especially for a villain, well…The
Nome King was an exception? He was just an old brat. However, the ending for
Amy was…twisted. I almost couldn’t hold my tears when I’m reading that part. I
don’t know whether that is Ozam’s mercy or somehow…it just kept torturing me.
I really love the dark
and mysterious setting inside this book, and another very important character
was added into the mission as well. The ball was fantastic, the customs…Amy and
Nox…oh god, the image was so real in my head. It’s so gothic.
Gosh…I just love that. Although…still…there
is still bit of complain? But that doesn’t affect my love to The End of Oz!!!!
It is just…ahhhh…I’m still compassionately, hopelessly in love.
I told you you had to change. That
you had to learn how to be the knife. But I was the one who needed to learn. I
never thought about myself. I thought of the Order. But I was the knife. I was
the fight. You taught me how to love. You taught me how to choose. And I choose
you. Always.
OMG…my heart just
melt. The one thing I love this series is the relationship between Amy and Nox,
you can really see how much they had come through, and how much they have
grown. Without the Order interfering the…Nox just…renewed.
And definitely love it.
I was laughing like an idiot whenever I’m reading their part. It’s just…perfect,
one of the couples that I definitely ship. In the past few books, we’ve always
been worried about what will happen if Amy became a monster like Dorothy did…and
that Nox might face the fact to kill her. But then…since this book was entirely
out of Oz, problem solved! Wait…you mean, if the story wasn’t place in Oz, then
where it is? Well…it is in Oz, technically, but not in Ozma’s palace or the
Emerald City. It is in—no spoiler!
Another character but
not the Order? Well…you’ll have to find out yourselves! But just give you some
hints, I really love how Danielle Paige done with the “beheaded” part, that’s
fantastic. Cruel, but perfect. It’s definitely unique and unexpected. Oh! And
has something to do with the Order. (Wink*) Ahhh…I know, you’re all waiting for
me to mention Madison, the queen bitch. Oh…of course I’m just kidding. I know
she changed!!!! But you can’t deny the past, can you? She did played an
important part in this story. However…it seemed that she was important, but not
that crucial. But I really love how she played an important part that allowed
Amy to make the right choices and the past between them had settle. (Btw…It’s
pretty cute that Nox against Madison for Amy)
I know after the third
book, a lot of people hate postponing it…but I just can’t. Indeed it’s not the
best book I’ve ever read, but the plot twists and the unexpected ending, it
worth all the stars. When I’m reading, I can’t help but compared it to Forever
Doon, how two similar setting stories ended differently, and which do I prefer.
And to be honest, they’re both great. So…whether you like Yellow Brick War or
not, just finish the story, and I believe you’ll have a refreshing thought on
this series.
Oh! I forgot to
mention…I even write a poem for The End of Oz.
The End of Oz
The
end of Oz is now at sight,
Ancient
crime of Red and Silver with spy and fae,
Rise,
rise above the rainbow of the light.
As
red girl of the past turned day to night,
With
her companies of dark show all mercy die
The
end of Oz is now at sight.
Silver,
the finale touch, burning the bright
Of
magic bricks that once weaved in the Emerald sky,
Rise,
rise above the rainbow of the light.
Wicked
king moved and planned the world in fight,
Yet
fell, too soon, on his own knife of cry,
The
end of Oz is now at sight.
Panther,
purple flame, strong as the wight,
Long
train shall act like blade and comply,
Rise,
rise above the rainbow of the light.
And
there, thy princess, all in wise and might,
Stand,
fight, with the good and wicked force, say aye.
The
end of Oz is now at sight,
Rise,
rise above the rainbow of the light.
