This book is odd. It starts off with an army of girls taking over emerald city with knitting needles so they could have nice jewellery but ends with the most casual, no-big-deal gender transition in literary history. (not sure if a spoiler warning is needed on a 100 year old book but I didn't know it was coming so it was a big surprise to me)

Don't think it quite captures the magic of the first book (which might be my movie bias) but still a fun time. It's definitely kept me interested to read the rest.
