Para ser un libro escrito a principios de 1900 es bastante rupturista, en cierto modo es pro mujeres dentro de sus posibilidades tomando en cuenta la época en que fue escrito.
Otra cosa que me gusta de este libro es la importancia que le dan a haberse educado y que sin embargo echarselo en cara a los que no han tenido las mismas oportunidades no está bien.
Dentro de todo es un libro muuuuuuuy absurdo, muucho.
De aquí en adelante lo mas probable es que haya spoilers, lea bajo su propio riesgo jajaja.
Dije rupturista tambien por el hecho que al final tenemos un personaje al que se le hizo un cambio de sexo, aun me río pensando en la cara que deben haber puesto los niños de ese entonces cuando se dieron cuenta jajaja.
Me encanta que al final el Woggle-bug se haya quedado a transmitir sus conocimientos, como que ese personaje se redime despues de haber sido bastante insoportable.
Por último me voy a referir a Jack, creo que su personaje es penoso siempre preocupado por el dia de su perecimiento en vez de tratar de vivir su vida y dar lo mejor, hubo un momento en que ya daban ganas de golpearlo porque repetia y repetia de cuando iba a pudrirse.

This was he 2nd chapter book Jocelyn & I read together. It had a few illustrations which helped hold her attention. She enjoyed the fantastical elements and the journeys the characters took. She was enthralled with the plot twist at the end with Ozma.
There were some elements that were awfully sexist, but I suppose that is to be expected for the time period. Jinjur’s army of spoiled girls armed with knitting needles and obsessed with jewelry for example, weren’t my favorite parts. However, the idea of an all female army facing another, Glinda’s later on (who were true warriors) was pretty awesome.
One character has undergone a sex change of sorts to evade capture. At the time it was written I’m sure the spell surrounding the change neutralizes the social transgression, but to a modern reader it raises interesting questions about transgender identity and gender identity-what would life be like as a different gender? This all happens in just a few pages and isn’t the focus by any means, but it definitely made me pause.

I wasn't much convinced at first, but it gets really good the more you read. I can definitely understand why Baum is seen as a feminist, and for the time when he wrote these books he made a really great portrayal of women.
I love how much is said implicitly about the characters, just like in the previous book : for instance, one is lead to understand that Tip, just like Dorothy, may be the leader of the group, he is far from being flawless, and has much to learn from the other characters.
Finally, a word about the end :

awesome ! I love how Tip's transformation to Ozma is shown to be natural, and the fact that she remains the same person, only her gender has changed.

It was okay, I was really looking forward to this book, cause I loved the Wizard of Oz so much! But this one fell alittle flat. For me, sadly. I’m still going to read on and read the next one Ozma of Oz but it was nice seeing a lot of the old new characters again: Scarecrow, TinMan and Glinda. 3/5

The book was ok, but I just wasn’t excited about it enough to continue with it. Too many other books to read which have more appeal.
