I thoroughly enjoy The Librarian series. The books are short, entertaining, and provide an interesting perspective on classic literature. The relationship between the main characters could be more fully developed, but I assume that development will continue as the series advances. All in all, the books are well-written, exciting romps that are entertaining for adults and children alike. This book in particular explores the Land of Oz, the one in the Baum's books. It has all the trappings of a good tale, good guys with flaws, bad guys, bad guys with second thoughts, and exciting turns of events that may change loved literature forever.While these books are a series, it is nice that not all problems can be fixed, and trying to fix one problem often results in disastrous, unforeseen consequences. I get really tired of pat endings where everything is tied up in a neat bow, and all wrongs are put right. This book and its predecessor succeed in recognizing that not all wrongs can be put right, even with the best of intentions. Refreshing!
