OH MY GOODNESS. THIS BOOK, Y'ALL. THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED AND MORE.
Thank goodness book 2 is scheduled for early 2024 or I just would not be able to handle it.
Geneva Monroe has taken the bright and shiny Emerald City and tarnished it beyond repair. Her realistic, gritty as hell version of Oz reminds me of Chicago at the height of the mob days, and yet it's as familiar as the back alleys of the cities we traverse every day.
The plot has more twists and turns than the Yellow Brick Road, the characters possess depth and growth that hit you where it hurts - all while managing to include more steam than a yard of locomotives and enough background to make your heart shatter for every single character.
The only reason I didn't read this entire novel in one sitting is because I noticed it was midnight and I was only halfway through the book. (I would have stayed up all night otherwise.) I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was fully invested before I reached the end of the second chapter.
Absolutely brilliantly written, with a seedy underbelly twist to the shining city we've seen so many times on television. I haven't had so much fun while clinging to the edge of my seat in a long time. Dark OZ is bound to be an instant bestseller.
