The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum
5.0

ahhh i loved this one even more than the first!!

these books are so charming & whimsical, i truly wish i would have read these as a kid. the writing is so fun & easy to follow. these books pull you in & i really couldn't help but keep reading. the storyline developed so well in this one, but i won't say anything else to avoid spoilers... hehe.

it really leaves the world open for more books too! i really loved the overall story & ending of this one more than the first. i feel like the narrative was given ample time to fully unfold & all action & creation was purposeful.

also the illustrations got better! its such a beautiful book, even just to flip through & admire the artwork :')
