The Emerald City of Oz

pick

I liked that this book had a bit more of a plot through-line than others. Of course, the invasion plot chapters are interspersed with Dorothy having adventures and meeting silly beings all over Oz. Lots of puns and bits that are very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. It really grates on me that Dorothy never thinks that if something can reason and talk to you, it deserves to choose its own fate.

BookmarkTavern I‘m looking forward to this one! 1w

so-so

I've been slowing making my way through the Oz books. Diminishing returns, unfortunately. This one with a hearty xenophobic ending!

GondorGirl This is one of those series that I doubt I'll ever reread. I know that, as an adult, I'm going to find so many things that don't age well. In this case I think I'll stick to the film... 2y

everlocalwest @GondorGirl I really liked the original book, even as an adult, but none of the others have been the same. The film is indeed better than all of them. 2y

This was my least favorite so far in the series. Not much happened, the old characters didn‘t have any growth, and the new characters were pretty pointless. The conflict was also resolved way too easily.

Book 6 finished. 😁 The characters in this one are some of the best yet. There's a town full of utensils and it's ruled by King Kleaver. And another place full of paperdolls.

Dorothy gets to show the Land of Oz to Aunt Em and Uncle Henry and the whacky fun they encounter kept me smiling. The end of this one is a little bittersweet and I'm curious what the next book will hold.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I love the Oz books. They‘re so funny and whimsical. 3y

Does not disappoint with whimsical, as well as wicked characters. And the most amazing cities ever. I love this series, and this book definitely picks up the pace of the story
