I was rather disappointed to see Dorothy make such a big comeback in the series considering I absolutely cannot stand her. Her character is written as weak and idiotic to the point of extreme annoyance and ridiculous sexism (seriously you really needed to say Dorothy fainted while Zeb did not because he is a boy). Plot-wise this book is rather random, but the adventures are interesting. As with the other Oz books, I would not recommend for very young children, considering some of the more violent scenes, but overall a fun adventure tale. |
