 Now this was my favorite of them all. I like the plot twist, the storyline, and everything. Perhaps besides the ending...I can never understand which side Lion was on. 
 "You love the fight more than you love what you are fighting for. Be careful, here." 
 Once again, Glinda appeared in Lion's boring life and gave him a mission. Not mission impossible, but mission intolerable. Yet during Lion's time with Ozma, he gradually like the princess and agree to protect her. This was the first time that The Nome King appeared, and...I really curious what would happen next after this story. 
 Ozma and Lion decided to find the Nome King, and Lion's secret mission had a lot to do with this. However, when Ozma truly trusted her life with Lion, Glinda appeared and reveal the mission. Of course, BOOM!!! No trusting relationship anymore. Oh! By the way, there was a part that I believe Dorothy would want to see. Come, come Dorothy!!! (Oh sorry, I forget she was now corrupt by magic. Oops!) 
 The reason why I like this novella the most was that the part of bargain and the part that when you seem to forget the most important thing, Danielle Paige once again successfully drew back your attention. That's what I like mostly about her stories. It's really unexpected to reader, and I love unexpected things.
