proseandpucks 's review for:

The wizard of pride by Ryan Field
2.0

Thank you to NetGalley and Riverdale Avenue Books for the arc!

This book is a gay reimagining of the Wizard of Oz, and despite some wonderful themes throughout, it just fell flat for me. It was basically a play-by-play remake of the old story, but gayer (obviously), and a lot of it just didn't fit.

It also felt a bit rushed and I wasn't a fan of the writing style.

It had some really clever parts and a few good one-liners, but overall I wasn't a fan of this one.
