A book that’s so current it tells Scarecrow that Jinjur, the general of the attackers, has always wanted the throne and has never liked the Wizard, Scarecrow, Lion, or Tin. For example, the characters repeatedly say that no one has ever tried to usurp the throne and yet Scarecrow is able to consult a book on despots. What really irked me about this novella is how some of the details seemed to contradict each other, but the contradictions were ignored for the sake of drama. The Straw King takes a long-winded, dramatic journey to show how Ozma ended up with the throne. From other books in the series, we learn that Scarecrow stops being king because Ozma shows up and since she is the rightful ruler of Oz, Scarecrow renounces the throne to her. The Straw King tells the story of how Scarecrow stopped being the King of Oz. In Young Justice, as in the comics, Etrigan is the demonic half-brother of Merlin, the magician from Arthurian legend.
