Trying to choose my next read and The Royal Book of Oz is in the running. Any spoiler-free thoughts on the pacing?

Roisin, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

The Royal Book of Oz is one I am weighing up. Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.

Ciaran, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.

For anyone considering The Royal Book of Oz: Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.
