Welcome to Litsy!

Okay, I LOVED that. While the Fables series continues to pull characters from fairy tales, this arc felt very much like a truly original story, and a wonderful journey for the previously overlooked protagonist. It wove seamlessly into the continuing story of the series but really took the time to tell its particular entry in a style that felt like vintage tales of knights and adventure. A new favourite in the series' collected editions.

I love how with each new book the focus changes to a different character and we get to learn about their past and what part they might play in the future of Fabletown. It helps to make the overall story more intense and complex and I'm becoming quite attached to these characters, which worries me because I know the story is building up to break my heart.

Still though, the writing and artwork are so beautifully done that the pain will be worth it.
