After the heartbreak of the last volume, Fables #20 does feel somewhat like a bridge book, but that's okay. The storyline moves forward in a few new and different directions, and this volume lays the groundwork for what I expect will be some huge developments still to come. This series has never disappointed me, and #20 is another not-to-be-missed installment. I'm only sad that as each new volume is released, we're that much closer to the end.
