My main complaint about this one is that what can and can't be accomplished by means of magic is pretty arbitrary basically, if it suits the plot, magic can do it, if doesn't suit the plot, there's suddenly a random reason why magic can't do it. It's fair to say it does not go well at first and our two protagonists ending up needing to be rescued by their Emerald City friends. This book features two of the minor nations within the Land of Oz going to war against each other and Ozma and Dorothy's attempt to bring peace to these countries. I have to say that I've enjoyed revisiting Oz for the first time since my very distant childhood and this book was a nice one to end on, featuring as it does the vast majority of the characters from the other books in the series, albeit somewhat briefly in some cases. Well, that's me done with the Oz series (I'm not really interested in reading the more recent books by authors other than Baum). Neill's beautiful color plates, along with his nearly one hundred black-and-white pictures, making it a perfect gift for all Oz fans, new and old. This deluxe gift edition features all twelve of Oz artist John R.
