A review by hylian_narwhal
Oz, the Complete Collection, Volume 3: The Patchwork Girl of Oz; Tik-Tok of Oz; The Scarecrow of Oz by L. Frank Baum
4.0
True overall rating; 3.75 stars
This is a omnibus of three novels which I have reviewed separately below.
The Patchwork Girl of Oz
Rating; 3.75 stars
A charming and ridiculous tale of the haphazard adventures of the Patchwork Girl - Scraps - and munchkin boy Ojo the Unlucky, to provide a remedy for Ojo's uncle.
It is (spoilers) one of those stories where, the solution could have been reached much earlier but then the adventuring wouldn't have continued. I found it an amusing conclusion to the story, but fair (albeit vague) warning.
Tik-Tok of Oz
Rating; 3.5 stars
Despite having very little to do with Tik-Tok himself, this is another charming tale.
To be honest, it's nice to just read some easy conflict-resolution right now while everything is feeling very unsolvable.
The Scarecrow of Oz
Rating; 3.75 stars
Alike to Tik-Tok of Oz, the title misleads you into thinking the Scarecrow will be around in this tale, whereas he only appears in the last quarter or so - if even that - to provide a final resolution and rescue for the true protagonists of the story.
