Loved this book. Made me actually laugh out loud. Addison is hilarious and Hart has biting wit to her word. Looking forward to getting the others in this series.

A wonderful read. Tugs at the heart strings and emphasizes the point that you never know the impact or ripple you have on someone's life. Dan Walsh is fast becoming a favorite author for me.

I really wanted to love this book because I have a thing for nerds or scholarly types no matter what time period. Alas I thought it was just okay. I feel there could have been more to Drake's story and thought it a little flat in comparison to others in the series. I am looking forward to the twins's stories though.

It has been a long time since I have liked an "indie" book as much as I liked this one. While it started off a little slow once the chase began it was never ending action. I loved the changes in Oz and in the characters that we all know and love (as well as the introduction to some of the new ones) and how the story line "grew up" while still being appropriate for young adults. I love how there were scars and hurts to forgive between all the characters as well as Dorothy realizing that nothing was really as she remembered it any longer because, like her, Oz changed while she was away.

I also enjoyed the nods to all the different versions and interpretations of Oz between the names of the witches and the line about "defying gravity". Maybe I read too much into those but they did make me smile.

Was there a lot of back to back on impossible to get out of situations? Did it require a lot of suspension of belief in that our characters faced these challenges back to back and survived (for the most part)? Yes but again it is a book about Oz and to be expected because that is the way it is in all the different stories regarding this mythical land. I am really hoping that there are more in this series because it did end on a slight cliffhanger and I would love to see where else this story arch could go.

A sweet book. I liked how the author built the relationship from friendship than slowly developed into romance. I also enjoyed how both the hero and heroine realized that they needed to compromise on decisions in their lives in order to get their HEA. The ending felt *slightly* rushed to me, but all in all I found it a very sweet book and really enjoyed how both Gareth and Juliet grew as people and realizing what they both needed to do (and change) in order to make their marriage work. I wouldn't mind reading others in the series or by Ms. Harmon after this one.
