On to the next one.Dorothy Must Die is a 2014 young adult book by Danielle Paige and her debut novel. But I don’t think I’ve missed anything too important, either. While not much happens, it’s short enough that I’m not annoyed by reading it.

It’s not super memorable, but it provides a little bit of context for how Jellia starts working for the Order. She gets just a small taste of the Order too, at the end of the book.Īnd…that’s it.

Jellia is working in Dorothy’s palace…I realize “working” might be a misnomer, as she really doesn’t have much of a choice at this point, but isn’t that how many of us feel in our jobs? And let’s be real, some of us have bosses who may resemble Dorothy, if not in a fun, fashion sense, then in an evil, heart of darkness way.Īnd Glinda, running a close second in the race for Worst Boss Ever decides to borrow Jellia from Dorothy for a few months for torture sessions and manicures.Īt Glinda’s palace, Jellia feels under utilized as a basic servant but as a result meets brooding bad boy Nox and is introduced to the idea of his stormy expressions and the Order.

And to be fair, not a lot happens in this book. So far, this is the shortest of the Dorothy Must Die series and two prequel novellas at 67 pages. I thought this book was about Glinda but it’s mostly about Jellia – although she and Glinda spend the book together.
