\"\"<\/a>This is the penultimate Fables volume, and it’s been sitting on my coffee table since May (release date) waiting to be read.<\/p>\n

It’s for the best that I put off reading it until the final volume also arrived, as it ends (of course) on multiple cliff-hangers.<\/p>\n

But we also get brief vignettes–closing stories for many characters and what happens to them after the story is over. The closing story for this volume is actually quite amusing.<\/p>\n

And the battle between Snow White and Rose Red is coming to a head–the fight that has been brewing since the start of the series.<\/p>\n
