Requesting and getting volume 5 in a series I haven't read before (well I think I may have started reading this series, but stopped reading for some reason) may seem to be a bit foolish and I was a bit worried that I wouldn't understand much and have trouble getting into the story. But when I started reading this one was it hard to stop reading it. I will just read a couple of pages...oh the first issue is already finished? I made a heck of a lot of screen caps, but I don't want to spoil the fun for you so I will just add a couple... I felt really sorry for Mr Webb that's feeling lonely. Probably the first time I felt story for a spider... Mr Webb just wanted to have a normal relationship with his wife, but she can't stand his spider form and he can't change... Meanwhile, Reynard Fox has gotten himself in some trouble and is now in Louisiana... And everything goes a little bit crazy when Meghan sees his true form...hehe I could have added a lot more fun screen caps, but seriously just read the damn volume yourself instead. Besides poor Mr Webb and Fox being whacked by a shovel is there stuff going on at the farm with the Fables growing frustrations at being stuck there! I received this copy from Vertigo through Edelweiss in return for an honest review! Thank you! Of all the the ways for Fairest to end, Reynard knocking up a random mundie girl, a murder mystery among the non-human fables, and the final tale of Goldielocks was not where I expected it to go. It's a pretty good story though, all told. One of the best recent ones. Spoilers/images: It's funny because fairy tales. Suddenly fox baby. Don't worry, this can't possibly turn out badly. Oh yeah, remember that? That was a long time ago. Poor Mary I guess. Goldilocks is perhaps the strangest character in this series. I can't read sassenach without think of [b:Outlander|10964|Outlander (Outlander, #1)|Diana Gabaldon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529065012l/10964._SY75_.jpg|2489796] though... Which kind of fits? I knew that Fables was ending this year, but I figured that we had a while yet with this series. Apparently not, since this is the final collected volume of the series (though the story actually concludes in Fairest in the Land (which was published before the spin-off became an official series on its own). Fables may have finished strong, with a storyarc about the sisterly rivalry between Snow White and Rose Red, but this series didn't quite live up to expectations. The series is supposed to be about the female characters of Fabletown (the lesser known ones, essentially), but the focus of this storyarc are the non-human Fables on the Farm and their mania for getting transformative glamours (as promised previously by Prince Charming in his mayoral bid). The story could have easily focused on the group of Fabletown witches, since the majority are of a female persuasion, but they are barely featured in lieu of the crabby sunflower boy narrator and Reynard the Fox. Disappointing to say the least, but at least I won't really miss the series, since it wasn't living up to its earlier volumes which focused on the more interesting ladies of Fabletown - Lumi (the Snow Queen), Briar Rose, Rapunzel, and even the obnoxiously antiestablishment Goldilocks. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The final volume of this most elegant of FABLES spin-offs is here! Rose Red reigns over a New Camelot, while Snow White hunts for the soul of her slain husband, Bigby Wolf. Yes, it's a wild time for the Fables...the ones who look human, that is. Their four-legged, furry, finned, feathered and flowery fellows, however, are all stuck twiddling their appendages on the Farm-a fate that stinks worse than fertilizer. All except Reynard, of course. That wily fox has finagled his way into Rose Red's service as one of New Camelot's knights, complete with a glamour-a magic spell that enables him to take on human form at will. His tall tales of derring-do might be a lot of hot air, but they're sparking a small-scale rebellion on the Farm as the cooped-up inhabitants agitate for glamours of their own.

I also thought it was bollocks that Meghan’s uncle and cousin were horrible and abusive at the beginning of the book, but then portrayed later as really loving her and secretly getting a surprise party ready for her (and Reynard had just misunderstood what was happening). Balls, I say. Balls. ( )
