I was surprised by how much I disliked this book. I found it meandering and uninteresting, its characters unlikeable and not particularly compelling, and its point...obscure. Maguire takes pleasure in constantly referencing the complicated history and politics of Oz while rarely elaborating on the backstory he's created - eventually I found this unbearably tedious. One to avoid.
