The saga of exiled fables expands to include the heroes and beasts of Arabian folklore as the Adversary begins to threaten their empire. I'm glad that I recently read The Golem and the Jinni so that I can follow the d'jinn and effrit references. Also, Snow White's offspring are growing up, and I love them! 
 The last two issues in the volume tell a very interesting side story about two wooden people fallng in love in the Homelands. The intriguing ending leaves their story open to play a greater role in the drama of Fabletown.
