This contrasts to some of the creatures in the previous books that you felt could never exist in any capacity. The Ork is something that you would think you would see at any zoo you went to but you realize it was not a real bird ever. The creatures while fantastical in nature, which is the point of new characters in these books to be larger than life, seemed to also be rooted in a more "real world" understanding of what a character is. This made this book very strong in my opinion. It seemed like a switch had finally went off in his head that he could still create wonderful characters regardless of them eventually ending up in Oz.
I have stated in my other reviews of the Oz books that there have been times that you could tell that Baum was over telling stories of this other world, but you can tell in this book that he was having fun. This book, out of all the oz books I have read to date, is probably my favorite of the series because it felt that Baum was comfortable with his own writing and also what he wanted to convey with this story about the land of oz. In many ways it can add to it because after you are finished if you desire you can find another adventure containing them. This fact does not take away from the joy of reading this book though. I personally had never been introduced to these other characters as I have never read the other book.
