A review by kitsuneheart
The Lost Princess of Oz by L. Frank Baum

3.0

After several two-star reviews, I'm finally able to give this Oz book three stars. Why? Because, for one, it is set IN OZ, rather than a distant land. Second, we start the story and continue through the entire thing primarily with Oz characters, rather than beginning with people we've never met who have no real connection to Oz. Third, there is at least a modicum of tension regarding the finale, given that, with Ozma gone, the powerful magic belt is seemingly out of the picture for a solution (seemingly).

Also, this is one of the first Oz books in a while where I recalled at least a pinch of the plot. Good for Ozma. She is worth remembering.
