And of course, the Wolf clan. They're always a lot of fun. A good story. A nice breather. Onwards! Some of my favorite scenes (spoilers): The idea that Hansel is on the side of the Adversary is ... of course he is. Especially given that Frau Totenkinder is who she is. It's on one hand amazing that the average person doesn't know. But I guess that's entirely the point of the thing. Man, Fly's had a rough life. Stress? Frog. Wife? Dead. Family? Dead. Oof. The idea of curses carrying on was one we saw before with Briar Rose, but this makes it all the better. Three haircuts a day. And she's making bank on it. Pretty cool. A silly little version of the Three Blind Mice. It works. If you stay up to catch Santa, you can have one true answer instead of your presents. I really like that idea. And you know, that's actually a really good way that Santa works. Magic. Santa's gift for Fly: one last kiss. Man. Right in the feels. He's got quite a story. You know. Geppetto really is kind of a terrible father figure. I feel bad for how Pinocchio has been stuck there. Heh. Glasshole. Also the idea that everyone rhymes to magic mirror, but you don't actually *have* to, it just likes it? That's funny. All that before he was fifteen. Man Charming is morally all over the place. He tries to do good, but ... he is who he is. ( ) jpv0 | Jul 21, 2021 | ) wetdryvac | Mar 2, 2021 | no reviews | add a review

The free Fables living in the mundane world have struck a decisive blow against the Adversary, destroying one of his most valuable assets at the very heart of his empire-and setting the stage for an all-out war between the worlds in the process. Now, while the ruler of the Homelands licks his wounds and gathers his forces, the denizens of Fabletown have a rare chance to savor the brief peace their victory has brought them. Everyone, however, knows that this is just the calm before the storm-and that even the winds themselves have to choose before it's over. No library descriptions found. |
