A review by tori_storydelver
The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum

3.0

This was definitely one of the better Oz books of the series so far. Instead of the same characters getting lost again, or wondering around Oz with no real purpose, This time a new character, Ojo, goes on a quest for the ingredients that can save his Uncle who was accidently turned to marble. I really liked the new characters that were introduced (except the glass cat who is meant to be dislikeable). I loved the patchwork girl and how she would randomly break into rhymes. I also enjoyed that there was somewhat of a plot, even if it was a very simple one. Despite everything I liked about this book, it is still an Oz book, which by formula means that the ending is very unsatisfying and there are underlying themes that make Oz seem like it's not actually the happy, accepting place it appears.
