The bad guy was rather funny in a cliched and cartoonish way.Īll in all, it was good fun and a nice break from my usual reads. She's not the most exciting of characters but she's a better MC than Tip/Ozma. The story was really similar to the other two. I wasn't expecting Tip to get a sex change and turn into a girl at the end. I did enjoy Wogglebug, Mombi, and Jinjur with her army of girls. The Scarecrow, Tinman, Tip and Pumpkin were all quite bland characters. I wanted them to keep control of Emerald City, their philosophy was ace - making the men do all the housework/childcare whilst the women chilled out. The first half was similar to Wizard of Oz with the all MC's going to the Emerald City. Did the Tinman ever go back to his munchkin ladylove? I kept rolling my eyes at the Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion respectively wanting a brain, a heart and bravery - it was bloody obvious that they already had that. I really didn't understand why Dorothy was so desperate to go back to Kansas, her aunt and uncle seemed unlikeable… And Oz was so much more fun. I did find it kind of badarse that she took a nap when she was in a middle of cyclone. Only Ozma of Oz can save them, but will she be in time? But Dorothy and Billina are taken prisoner by the evil Nome King who has captured the royal family of Ev.

Eventually she and a yellow hen named Billina wash up on the magic shore of Ev where they meet the mechanical man Tik Tok. She only survives by clinging to a chicken crate.

Eventually, Tip’s journey takes him to the Emerald City, where he realizes that his life will be changed forever. Along the way, he meets the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, as well as some new friends like Jack Pumpkinhead and the Wooden Sawhorse. In The Marvelous Land of Oz, a young boy named Tip escapes from a witch and sets out to explore land of Oz. Here they meet the Munchkins and join the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City, where the all-powerful Wizard of Oz lives.
