If, like me, you thought these were going to be the stories of the women of Fables, you will be EXTREMELY disappointed. In fact, it turns out to be about men in the Fables universe viewing and living the women's stories. I mean, I knew, Fables wasn't much of a feminist universe, but COME ON !! Couldn't we at least avoid some of these sexist stereotypes ? 
 The worst thing is the stories are quite cool, they just completely miss the point. Yes, it's nice to see Briar Rose again, but couldn't we have her point of view on the events ? And yes, I can understand how Beast is necessary to the second, side story, but wouldn't it have been as touching and powerful if the Lamia herself was telling it ? 
 Oh, and that bottle imp really needs to check its fact on men being stronger than women. Seriously. 
 I'll keep reading these because I really like the universe and want to see what happens next, but I'm still pissed off about all that.
