A review by romankurys
The Lost Princess of Oz by L. Frank Baum
3.0
Another adventure in the Land of Oz comes to an end. This one definitely get like a true Oz book.
Everyone you know and love are in it, plus, of course, a few new additions as usual. It seems that Baum was on his sweet tooth binge when writing this since we get introduced to Cayke and Cookie Cook in this story.
Overall a simple premise: Ozma is missing. Or is kidnapped. And a whole bunch of magical objects are missing (or have been stolen) with her.
We have a bit of mystery, a bit of heist, and a tons of fairy magic as this is, after all - Oz!
I struggled a little with the rating and really wanted to give it a 4 stars vs 3, as this volume is definitely better from the previous few. I, however, must be growing a bit bored of the same old formula in this series and even though I liked it, I didn’t like it A LOT, which would make it a four star to me.
Only a few left to go to wrap up the books written by Frank Baum. I will have to begin thinking about if I want to continue on my mission to read ALL of the Oz books or re-direct my time elsewhere. I’m kinda torn on that. Maybe I’ll take a break and read “Dorothy Must Die” series or “Wicked” series...we’ll see.
Until the next time folks!
