- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of the better Oz books. It actually has a plot - not just traveling along meeting strange people.Ozma travels to prevent a war between the Flatheads and the Skeezer. She ends up trapped. I really enjoyed it.Part I like about magic:And Dorothy wished in her kindly, innocent heart, that all men and women could be fairies with silver wands, and satisfy all their needs without so much work and worry, for then, she imagined, they would have all their working hours to be happy in. But Ozma, looking into her friend's face and reading those thoughts, gave a laugh and said:"No, no, Dorothy, that wouldn't do at all. Instead of happiness your plan would bring weariness to the world. If every one could wave a wand and have his wants fulfilled there would be little to wish for. There would be no eager striving to obtain the difficult, for nothing would then be difficult, and the pleasure of earning something longed for, and only to be secured by hard work and careful thought, would be utterly lost. There would be nothing to do you see, and no interest in life and in our fellow creatures. That is all that makes life worth our while -- to do good deeds and to help those less fortunate than ourselves

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5_Glinda of Oz_, Baum's fourteenth and last Oz book, finds Dorothy and Ozma captive in the sunken city of the Skeezers, whose contentious relationship with the militant Flatheads has lead to imminent war. In order to rescue the two young girls, as well as bring peace to the Flatheads and the Skeezers, Glinda, the ruler of Quadling Country and the most powerful sorceress in Oz, creates an army consisting of most of Oz's singular inhabitants._Glinda of Oz_ is dominated by two qualities: it is consistent and logical. Scenes follow one another by a thread. A great deal of the story is devoted to an almost pseudo-scientific exploration of the different kinds of magic in Oz. Unfortunately, this sets it apart from most of the previous novels, which often presented a story that meandered from beginning to end and from encounter to encounter. Although encounters often possessed their own weird and fantastic logic, and individual characters tended to follow their own, sometimes exclusive, rules, they didn't require what might be considered "adult" realism--Oz demanded the suspension of disbelief that children find so natural.The story also brings together a swath of characters from previous stories, but most of them get short shrift--cameo appearances.Of course, there is still some of that magic that Baum was so good at crafting, but I didn't find enough of it to truly bring me to Oz. Three stars.
