This series is typically an auto buy for me. I think my jaw hit the ground when I read the first in the series. It was certainly not like anything I had read at that stage.Madeline Sheehan has awesome writing skills and if the story is really strong then you have a lethal combination. A combination that not every reader would be in to, but if you have an open mind it's an enjoyable ride.I was desperate for a good read as everything I have read lately has partly been something I 'have' to read and typically not very good.I have been waiting for this to come out, unfortunately it lacked in some key areas. I really could have stopped reading at any page through the 68% that I did read. Whilst the writing is always good with this Author the layout, story strength and that connected feeling just was not there at all.I felt like it was dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Putting the Dorothy piece of the puzzle in place just because it had to be put in.For me I had no connection with the book whatsoever, there was no feeling that I just had to find out.It lacked interaction/specific conversations between the characters, there was a lot of full paragraphs explaining or describing.I felt like a lot was old text where the events happened in other books but it was like it was filling the gaps, and it happened a lot so much so that I was not sure where I was at. It went backwards and forwards then landed somewhere in the middle for a while.I will continue seeking out Madeline Sheehan's books I just won't finish this one.
