I read them all last year and a lot like the Oz books I really like them up to a point and then they drop off hard. For ASoUE it was everything after the Hostile Hospital and for Oz it was everything after book 3

Reply to The Patchwork Girl of Oz & the Oz Series by drekiaa
The first three are great, then Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz came along and had to ruin everything. He pretty much throws all continuity out the window at that point and it slowly turns into this nightmare world where everyone is stuck with Ozma, Dorothy and Glinda controlling everything. I read all 14 Baum books last year (which doing them all at once was probably a dumb idea) because I wanted to see what they were all about after reading The Wicked Years (which I loved) and I kind of hated most of them. Dorothy turned into one of my least favorite book characters by the end of it haha. But that's just me glad to know other people are reading them because like I said I think the first three are really great

Reply to Most over hyped book you’ve read? by Sophiachamber
Song of Achilles, it's not even that bad even though I still think the two mains have the personalities of wooden furniture but people had me thinking it was going to be the second coming of jesus for how hyped it was. Definitely the most "I'm not mad, just disappointed" book Ive read in a bit

Reply to Any childhood favorites that did NOT hold up as an adult? by [deleted]
They're more high school favorites but pretty much anything by John Grisham, just all the worst traits of 90s authors on full display
