#BookReview: West of Wicked (The Great and Terrible Land #1) by Nikki St. Crowe

Book Cover
Synopsis: Dorothy Gale doesn’t know where she came from. She has only the vaguest memory of her life before landing in the dull, gray world of the vast Kansas prairie.

Then a cyclone rips through the night and carries her, her dog, and the farmhouse somewhere a lot farther than Dorothy imagined. She’s in a strange land that’s apparently cursed, shrouded in shadow. And to get home, Dorothy needs to seek out a wizard, following a treacherous path and watch out for a never-ending list of forest beasts, witches, a cursed mercenary, and perhaps most dangerous of all, the wizard himself.

Nikki St. Crowe vividly reimagines the world of the Wizard of Oz, where the villain gets the girl...and the girl gets the power.

My Review:
I devoured this authors Lost Boys series and when I saw this I knew I had to pick it up.  Sadly, I did not enjoy this one as much as I was hoping. I felt like I had been dropped into the story without a lot of explication.  I wished that this would have started further into the story like the Lost Boys had. Right on the action instead of getting back story that I don't think we needed.
