** spoiler alert **
           The thematic hit of Wayward Witch is an inversion of The Emerald City of Oz. In that book, Ozma invites Dorothy's aunt and uncle to live full time in Oz. Most of the book is the road trip Dorothy takes them on to introduce them to their new home. Interestingly, Emerald City of Oz sits on the same row of the Road Narrative Spectrum as both Labyrinth Lost (2018) and Wayward Witch.

I really enjoyed this book and thought it did a great job expanding the world Córdova established in the previous two books in the series. I wasn't expecting to identify so much with Rose. My only complaint is that the ending felt rushed though. Book 4?

This final book in the trilogy was just as good as the the other two. If not best following the youngest of the girl Rose, showing she is just like her sisters, badass and powerful. Great read 5 out of 5 stars.

Review: DNFed at 23%. While you can read this book as a standalone I kept getting the feeling that I should start at the beginning of this series instead..I blame netgalley again for not letting me know lol. The writing is great and the plot seems interesting but I kept getting tripped up on the details and characters. Will definitely try again in the future.

Verdict: It’s good, but I want to start at the beginning.
