Ah we've finally reached the last of the OZ books written by Frank Baum. Ruth Plumley Thompson picked up right where he left off (taking a few notes supposedly, though who knows if it was notes on the next book, or just on OZ in general), and I'm going to keep going with the series because i've had a lot of fun with it.
This was very obviously the last book that Baum wrote. He knew he was sick, and he brought everyone back together (which was a theme for the last few books, though he packed more of his beloved characters into this one, than the previous) for one last romp. This book was thought out much better, so the enjoyment was a bit higher than the previous book.
At this point we know how Baum writes, and we know about the characters, so it was worth it, it was a fun and exciting book, which introduced much more of the OZ land.

L. Frank Baum is an author I have read many times since I first discovered him in second grade. I find that his books stand up to the test of time and they are books that I enjoy re-reading. Some of them are stronger than others but as a whole I quite enjoy both the stories and characters.
This book had a tighter plot than many Oz books, which I found quite interesting. Rather than filling the book with many different unique concepts, Baum took one concept and explored it very well. I enjoyed the mechanical nature of the puzzle, and how the city was described. This book wasn't as funny as some of the others, but enjoyable nonetheless.
