4/5 for the last novella in this series! I‘m so glad I read this. It answered a question that I never really got the answer to while reading the series. Pete was such an enigma in the story. We also learned more about Mombi in this one. If you loved this series, I recommend reading all of the novellas.

Reading this short Ozma/Pete prequel really reminded me of the new show Emerald City (hence the picture). I love all things Oz related and I can't wait to see what lies ahead when tackle the End of Oz next.

This is the last of the Dorothy Must Die prequels and I'm sad to say the least! 😭I absolutely love this series, especially the novellas. In the last installment, we get more backstory on Pete/Ozma and how Ozma was entrusted into Mombi's care as a child. For her protection, Mombi transforms Ozma into Pete. Most of this story is about Pete, which was a little disappointing, but overall, this is a solid end to the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#Oz

MrBook Nice review! 8y
JenlovesJT47 @MrBook thanks! ☺️ 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk I'm rereading Baum's Oz books and I'm interested in these but still a little wary. Any reason given why Ozma as a boy is called Pete instead of Tip? 8y
JenlovesJT47 @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I'm not sure. I've only read the first original Oz book, but these are a complete reimagining. The "good" ones here are bad and vice versa. I love this series! 8y
