A review by blackmetalblackheart
The Royal Book of Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson

2.0

As a huge fan of the original Oz series, I have always wanted to read these follow ups. Unfortunately, the first of Thompson's books fails to live up to the standards of Baum. The story starts out slow, and if not outright racist, it definitely feels like it walks the line. There are great moments in it however, and I like that it attempts to expand the wonderful world of Oz. I am hoping that Thompson improves over the course of the series. This was just a rougher start then I would have liked.
