Fables, Vol. 8: Wolves

A Man With An Agenda

I'm an indie bookseller in Vermont, sometime public servant, and voracious reader. I love antiques, cats, D&D, and vintage Ken. Though my job requires me to dabble across the board genre-wise, my heart belongs to the Victorians and epic fantasy.

I write something about every book I read, but only publish reviews close to the release date of the book. If you see something on my shelves and there's no review, feel free to ask me about it!

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 collection and I'm sad it took me so long to get to it. The main plot is, of course, Mowgli tracking down Bigby and bringing him back to Fabletown for a special mission. That mission is awesome.

I also liked the Cloud Kingdom subplot that brought more intrigue into play - and I love Cinderella.

There's not much else I can say, since I don't want to spoil anything. Its hard to believe that this story isn't even halfway through - not even counting the spinoffs. Worth checking out and worth the wait.
