Rinkitink in Oz | L Frank Baum

Pickpick

Lots of fun new characters in this—I liked Prince Inga, King Rinkitink, and especially Bilbil the talking goat. It has an actual plot, too, which made it even more fun. However, Oz is barely relevant. The title is strange since not only does Rinkitink only spend a couple of chapters in Oz, he‘s not even the main character. Why not call it Prince Inga in Oz? #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad

I've finished another three Oz books. Just one more and I'll be caught up for #beyondtheyellowbrickroad. Of these three, The Patchwork Girl of Oz was my favorite.

The characters are well-rounded and realistic. I've always had a soft spot for Galinda's journey, but the main focus is on our beloved Elphaba. She has a rough start but learns how to accept herself, her flaws, and her knack for being labeled a trouble-maker. This book deals with heavy content such as racism and genocide. It had me pulling out a dictionary several times, and I've read this multiple times- a sign of a truly good read.

The Latin phrase E Pluribus Unum — Out of Many, One — is our de facto national motto. It was a rallying cry of our founders as they built a single unified nation from a collection of states. It‘s a good reminder of where we need to go.

This book struck a decent balance between “plot” and “random punny adventures.” Some of the things that irk me about other Oz books were definitely present here (are Glinda and Ozma *really* all that great?). But I just loved Trot, Cap‘n Bill, and the Orks so much that I can‘t downgrade the rating. #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad

BookmarkTavern I love Cap‘n Bill! 💙 2w

When Toto & his human Dorothy are swept away in a tornado, he was not expecting a land of magic, political feuds, & revolution. Being a Good Dog was going to get him taken away by Animal Control, so it‘s time to see what a Bad Dog can do.

I laughed out loud so much. A modernized retelling, poking fun @ a lot of tech bro culture & far right wing masculinity, while also providing loving references to the wide spread cultural impact of Oz.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

I liked that this had more of a storyline and less randomness than previous Oz books. Betsy Bobbin and the Shaggy Man are delightful. However, I was constantly frustrated that the horrible Love Magnet works differently than it did in the past (presumably so it can be defended against), and the nomes‘ personality changes didn‘t stick, other than the king inexplicably getting a new name.

BookmarkTavern Yeah the Love Magnet making a reappearance really frustrated me. 3w

When Betsy & Hank the mule fall overboard in a storm, they have no idea they‘ll join up w/ the Shaggy Man rescuing his brother, a lost daughter of the Rainbow, & a small army intent on conquering Oz.

I had forgotten a lot of this 1! The army of Oogaboo is just ridiculous, Polychrome & Betsy are a joy, we get to meet a dragon, & the Nome king makes a dastardly reappearance. So does the Love Magnet, & I really wish they would lose that. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
