I really liked the Oz books and have enjoyed various re-imaginings of Oz, so I thought I would love this. It was OK. I finished it, but I don't plan to read any more in the series. I was hoping to see more engagement with Oz outside of the first book in the series. There was some - we see some of the minor characters around (but they're usually one-off appearances), and there was a reveal at the end I was able to call possibly because of my knowledge of the Oz universe. To me, it felt like typical YA fare that I would have liked in high school, but now, I'm tired of the tropes that come up in that type of fiction.
