This was an interesting yet also disappointing conclusion. I hate open ended endings so perhaps that is why. Personally I don't think any of the books in this series were able to ever reach the same quality as the first. ( )

I was so excited when I learned of the release of this book. When it finally came, though, I had trouble getting through the first few pages, so I waiting a few weeks and dove back in head first.

I both listened to this on my way to work every day & read it at night before falling asleep. I pretty much lived it for a while. Unlike the other books, Out of Oz showed potential at first, but failed to live up it. It was as if the book was caught in its own desire to be as complicated or literary as possible. Although I love Maguire's style of writing, I'm not sure he wasn't just going over the top for the sake of trying to round out this series. It was long-winded, confusing and lacked the punch of Wicked or even Son of a Witch.

I wouldn't say "pass" on this, especially if you've read the other three books, however do not expect to be blown away or even feel that there is completion at the end. ( )
