I don't think they would have been happy with the Land Beyond. There is literally and figuratively no rhyme and reason. The sisters, Rhyme and Reason, were imprisoned in a castle faraway. What is left is pure nonsense. Juster, for example, uses the Royal Banquet to underscore just how badly the Land Beyond is in need of logic and reason.
