I'm giving a higher rating to this novella from the series because it's actually not boring like some of the others. At first I thought, meh just another back story from the characters. 
 My thoughts shifted when the story was reaching it's middle! 
 Mainly the reason for the highest rating is the villain is (view spoiler)[a Gnome King. I'm obsessed with gnomes so yep! This made it to the top on my list out of all the Dorothy novellas. 
 This one made me laugh a lot when the Gnome King kept calling the ferocious lion a kitty! (hide spoiler)] 
 It had me thinking about the main story more than any other story has done before too.
