Yeah... The fundamental problem here is that Oz under the reign of Ozma is a pretty insipid place, with all the horrors destroyed, tamed or driven out. So these books basically have to involve characters having wild adventures in other parts of Baum's "Fairyland" universe outside of the country, then making a token visit to Oz at the end. Here, the extra-Ozian preliminaries are particularly uninteresting, the characters ill-chosen, and the visit to Oz mostly taken up with a giant birthday party for Ozma with cameos by dozens of other Baum characters.
