The new characters introduced in this book were incredibly annoying and I didn‘t care whether or not they succeeded. Dorothy only shows up for a couple chapters at the end as more of an afterthought than an actual part of the plot.
pickBook 10 in my Oz reread surprised me as being one of the best. I find that these books are most enjoyable when they involve actual stakes (not a given, the entire plot of book 5 hinged on whether or not Dorothy would be a little late to Ozma's party) and Rinkitink delivers on that front, telling the story of Prince Inga of Pingaree who must win his parents back from some actually villainous villains.
The deus ex Dorothy was expected of course.

I'm enjoying my reread of the Oz books, but the saccharine characters can be a bit much sometimes.
So glad this book has Bilbil the talking goat. Just look at him. Bilbil is already done putting up with you and he hasn't even met you. #OzReread
I finished The Vorrh! And I haven't started my next book yet, so I'm posting the #firstlineofcurrentread from Rinkitink which I'm reading chunks of between books for my Oz reread. #aprilbookshowers #OzReread
Baum seems to be cutting loose with this one. Some actual bad things have happened (not always a guarantee in an Oz book) and now there's some discussion of eating the talking goat. #OzReread
I knew I wanted to read all the Sherlock Holmes stories, but that seemed too daunting, so I got in the habit of reading one adventure between each novel I read. Took me a few years, but I got through them all. Now between novels I read around 40 pages of an Oz book. Now I'm on book 10! #palatecleanser #feistyfeb
