Paige doesn’t reinvent the wheel but instead takes a world that most of pop culture has been raised on and builds from it her own modern mythology. Gone are the days of rainbows, Lollipop Guilds and pretty much anything to sing about in a major key. For those willing to go on a quest with a heroine more attuned to our times than the Dust Bowl era, there’s no place like it.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR DOROTHY MUST DIE:  “Gone are the days of rainbows, Lollipop Guilds and pretty much anything to sing about in a major key.
