The Witch Must Burn by Danielle Paige
2.0

 I don’t understand why these novellas exist. I enjoyed the first one No Place Like Oz, it was what Fairest is to The Lunar Chronicles. It gave us more of a feel for how Dorothy became soo evil. This one was boring and pointless. This series of books was meant to be a trilogy. Now, it has 4 books and 6 novellas, these novellas have then been turned into 2 bind ups. So, in a way it’s a 6 book series.

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away. Novellas were small deleted scenes that we didn’t need to read, they didn’t hold important information about upcoming books. As far as I’m aware these novellas aren’t crucial to the series so you should be fine without reading them. I don’t think it’s even the individual novellas that are pissing me off, it’s the amount of extra money the author is making from it. I’m sorry if you disagree but this is just my take on it and you are welcome to your own opinion.

I said before that the novellas were turned into 2 bind ups. Why? That was completely unnecessary. I understand that some people don’t own kindles or other ways to read the novellas so they may find the idea of a bind up really useful, that’s not my issue. Two bind ups. Not cool Paige. You and your publishers couldn’t have waited a bit longer until you’d published all of the novellas?

I enjoy novellas, they’re the deleted scenes, who doesn’t love deleted scenes? But usually with deleted scenes they come with the movie and you don’t have to buy them as an extra thing.
