4.0
Dorothy and Toto escape the dog catcher and explore a dark and politically saavy Oz.
They are appropriately horrified.
This Dorothy is a Critical Role fan and it's very cute. There are lots of references to modern tech and media.
Toto is your POV, 1st person, adventure fantasy, modern (2020s) Wizard of Oz adaptation/retelling, most of the characters are late teens or animals, some swearing, and (bc it's Oz) body horror
Hackwith does a great job- if you're a fan of the world of Oz, either from the original or Wicked, and dig an adaptation, I think this one's for you.
Personally, Oz isn't one of my favorite FantasyLands to visit and I had a great time with this book. Particularly interesting and cool take on political powers and magic.
