Wow. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. This was lovely, the story lines were engaging. Not too much noticeable for shadowing. I'm going to read the rest of the series.
I remember reading several in the vast number of books from the original Oz books, and this interpretation of the Oz universe is intriguing, I want to know more! ...more
