I did enjoy it more than the third, but I was still disappointed. I found most of the characters two-dimensional and without actual personality. A couple of the secondary characters had a spark, but the primaries just plodded along whatever path they were taking with no real investment. Running for your life isn't interesting if you don't really care one way or another. Fascinating mysterious objects are introduced only to be dropped at the end of the scene and only mentioned later in passing. Wicked was interesting and showed promise, but every book since has left me wishing for a re-write by a more dynamic author. Such a a great concept, ending with a resounding "thud".

This was a solid delivery of the final installation in this series. Kind of sad in the revised picture it paints of Dorothy, for everyone who loved the original Wizard of Oz. I don't really care for the characters in these books, and it's hard to care too much what happens to them. But it's certainly entertaining and well written.
