Dark Oz was one heck of a perfect, wild ride. I thought I was ready. I said I was prepared for whatever Geneva Monroe had to throw at me in "The Witch is Dead."
I have never been more wrong.
The latest installment of the Dark Oz trilogy left me literally speechless. I had experienced so many emotions in the book - the final quarter alone! - that I needed a few days to put my feelings into coherent thoughts. (Prior to now, my brain was basically screaming, "!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!!!!!!!" in a recursive loop.)
Monroe took her legendary-level writing to an entirely new level with "The Witch is Dead." She's managed to seamlessly intertwine epic character growth and edge of your seat plot and attach them directly to your beating heart (electrodes included), making it race and/or stop completely at the whim of the story.
Readers will be glued to the pages from beginning to end, continuing the journey through Ozmandria's seedy underbelly, but you won't come out the other side unscathed. Monroe's absolutely masterful writing will have sunk its hooks even deeper into you, leaving you BEGGING for the final piece of this non-stop thrill ride of a tale, counting the days until the release of "No Place Like Home."
The Witch may be dead, but the heroes' journey is nowhere near complete. I'll be waiting with bated breath to see how "No Place Like Home" manages to barrel through me like a cyclone through the cornfields in order to finish this amazing trilogy.
