Fables is one of my favorite things ever... but I'm just not quite sold yet on this new series set in the Fables world. Volume 1 of the Fairest series focuses on Briar Rose, the Snow Queen, and Ali Baba. Weird combination, right? This book is a fun addition, but didn't feel as strong as the books in the main Fables series. Still, I'm willing to stick with it and see where it goes. My understanding is that all of the Fables women will get a spotlight in this series -- can't wait to see who's next.
