Well, this is of course, brilliant. But why? It occurs to me that the world Gaiman set up for himself was in fact the perfect tool for him: He could incorporate any mythology, religion, genre, location or time and still make it all self-consistent, hence allowing his imagination to go wherever it wa...
This story sets up a lot of framework for what's coming - I haven't read ahead, I just know that 'Fables' has a very, very long way to go and I've gotten the hang of Willingham's foreshadowing. The 'Sons of Empire' arc introduces readers to the Empire's plans for revenge on Fabletown and the poten...
It's been over two years since I broke off reading 'Fables' because I'd reached the end of my library's collection. A chance spotting at a used bookstore allowed me to snag the next two books in line. There are couple of hanging plot threads I need to reacquaint myself with, but this was a great c...
This is one of those reviews I've been putting off because I don't have much intelligent to say about this book. It's a fun, warm, and charming read -- a rather sweet take on the Norse gods and one young boy's interactions with them.
The Arabian Fables have finally begun to feel pressure from the Adversary and a Fabletown agent has arranged for an Arabian embassy to arrive in New York. The problem is that Charming failed to get the message.Frau Totenkinder keeps building into a more important character with each appearance, Beas...
'Homelands' was satisfying, I didn't mind that the identity of the Adversary was who I expected it to be. There are times when you can build up a good surprise, and others you can't. If they had gone any other way I would have been irritated at the red herrings.Boy Blue left Fabletown after the batt...
This was where I originally left 'Fables' behind. It was more of the same, and I didn't feel the character development or the story at all at the time.Rereading it, I can appreciate the broad strokes rendered with 'Bag of Bones', where Jack cheats death, 'Barleycorn Brides' and 'A Two-Part Caper' wh...
Rebellious, revolutionary feelings stir up on the remote retreat in upstate New York where Fables who can't blend in with humanity live. Snow and Red think they're going on a routine visit to the Farm (and to return the third little pig, Colin, home), but it turns into something much more dangerous....
'1,001 Nights of Snowfall' can function as a standalone arc within the 'Fables' story, but I followed some advice that it should follow 'Mean Seasons'.The premise is that years ago, in the 19th century, Snow is sent as a emissary from Fabletown to a Sultan of the Arabian Fables. His court is offende...
After the epic battle of 'Wooden Soldiers', fought entirely without alerting the mundanes, Fabletown are forced to consider the Adversary as an active threat once more. The deeper roots of Fabletown diplomacy and espionage are revealed as well. Cinderella, who goes on to her own spinoff series, prov...
