The second installment of the Oz series was a fascinating read since everything was new and unknown. I liked the new cast of characters as well as the developments in the old returning ones. For instance, the Woggle-Bug truly is a silly fellow, and I enjoyed his puns greatly. Jack Pumpkinhead touches on the anxious feelings we experience living in the world. The Tin Woodman has become vain with his new power and riches, I wonder if this shall develop further. Looking forward to book number 3!
