loved it. I couldn't put it down. Therese and Dare.. I cried. I'm aching to get the next volume but I still have to wait for it's release. I can't wait to see what unfolds with Spratt and Winter and Therese being back and Bliss and all the other Fables. the next few months are going to kill me >_____< 
 I get so into these books/comics/G.Novels/what-have-you that they compel me to look up characters I do not know or stories I haven't heard before. I love how its not just one straight line. nothing is ever in a straight line. reading the fables in a huge jumble of stories with stories added at almost random keep me on my toes. you cant just read one storyline and put it down. this way you are constantly being pulled into the fabled tales and you push on to find out more. 
 I said almost at random because if you take note all the stories relate at one point or another, answer questions and or tell you something you'll need in order to later understand. I've heard people prefer the earlier Fables volumes however personally I find the later volumes more to my liking. not only do I still get swept away into different worlds but it also makes me want to go out and learn more, read more and broaden my understanding of literature as a whole. the ealier volumes, dont get me wrong, were amazing but I feel they have matured as they continued. Fables is and probably will be for a very long time part of my must read list.
