Glinda of Oz
by L. Frank Baum
OMG I am finally done with these damn books (at least the ones by L. Frank Baum and those are the only ones I'm reading)! And this one was a lot better than the other ones. The first thing that startled me was the intelligent conversation that Ozma and Dorothy and Glinda were having. I think that was a first. Also, it was a really compelling storyline. Ozma finds out about a war brewing between the mountainous flatheads and the lake-dwelling Skeezers, and feels it's her responsibility to make peace between them and inform these backwoods people that she's their ruler.
This doesn't go well. The Su-Dic of the Flatheads tries to imprison them, and the Queen of the Skeezers does imprison them, then lowers the dome-covered city to the bottom of the lake, trapping them there when she goes and gets herself turned into a swan by the Su-Dic. No one knows how to reverse her magic, or get the city up above the water again. There's three adepts at magic that were turned into fish that once ruled over the land until the Queen stole their magic and changed them to fish. The Emerald City rescue party lead by the Wizard hopes to find the fish and restore the adepts, thus being able to have them raise the city and rescue their friends and punish the Flatheads.
I was really entertained, and glad the books ended with such a good story. Also, the patchwork girl of Oz aka "Scraps" is by far one of the most entertaining characters in the series.
