We'll also learn more about the characters we've already met in Dorothy Must Die. All I can say is that there's more than one pointy-hat-wearer in Amy's Oz, and it might not be who you think. You'll have to read the book to find out who that witchy figure is and why she's important. If you're asking why there's a witch on the cover, though, I'm not falling for that trick. It's so creepy and mysterious, but a little bit funny, too, which is just the way I see these books. Q: That's definitely a familiar witchy silhouette on the cover.Ī. Who is the Wicked in the title referring to? Is it Dorothy and her henchmen? Is it the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked? Is it Amy herself? Or is it someone else? For now, I'm going to keep it a surprise. Somehow, across a twisted and divided land, I have to find the Order, protect the true ruler of Oz, take Dorothy and her henchmen down-and try to figure out what I’m really doing here.A: One of the major themes of Dorothy Must Die has to do with the idea of "wicked." When Dorothy's the bad guy, what exactly does "wicked" mean anyway? The Wicked Will Rise will keep asking questions about the difference between good and evil, and what the difference between them really is in a world where everything has gone haywire. And the home I couldn’t wait to leave behind might be in danger. Except my job as assassin didn’t work out as planned. And the Wicked Witches who were left? They’d joined forces as the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, and they wanted to recruit me. Glinda could no longer be called the Good Witch. Dorothy had returned, but she was now a ruthless dictator. But it wasn’t like the Oz I knew from books and movies. After a tornado swept through my trailer park, I ended up in Oz.


My name is Amy Gumm-and I’m the other girl from Kansas. In this New York Times bestselling sequel to Dorothy Must Die, who is good-and who is actually Wicked? The Wicked Will Rise is perfect for fans of richly reimagined fairy tales and classic tales like Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles and Gregory Maguire’s Wicked.
