You truly feel like you are part of Oz, like you could look around and find yourself in Dorothy’s palace, or open your door to find the Scarecrow stood before you. The descriptions are amazing, I have to admit. Paige has created Oz in all it’s crumbling glory. So far so good, right? The depth to this story is incredible.
