Two stars mostly because it just wasn't my normal. The concept was really awesome, but I felt like it took so long to get good that it was hard to get into. I get with these types of books it takes awhile to build the scene but I think MOST people have some concept of Oz (even if it's just from the movie). I think this is part of a series, and I will be reading the second one in hopes that now that the stage is set it'll move quicker. The idea that Dorothy and her companions have turned to the dark side; and not being able to tell good from wicked has lots of potential.
