The Wicked Will Rise

I'm working my way through this series because it's popular with the teens at my library. I dealt with my guilt of reading a Frey Factory product in my review for Dorothy Must Die, so go check it out if you care.

This is a typical waiting room book (the second book in a trilogy that just seems to stretch the series out in order to make it a trilogy). All of the characters are scattered, the mc has to fight some personal demons, realizes the feelings she has for love interest are valid. Yawn.

What I did like was: Amy's voice, the introduction of new characters and lands, the absence (for the most part, of Dorothy and Glinda), and I liked Queen Lulu.

I really liked Amy's fight through the fog. She really grew as a character in this book.
I wasn't crazy about this new concept of destroying Kansas. I get it, it's just weird.

The third installment is due very soon, so I should be able to finish this without a huge wait. I have not read the prequels.
