Comments: The book starts off with a single issue that features Cinderella. It feels purposeless at first but a little secret is revealed that later comes into play with a slight significance. Next is a two-issue story line featuring Bigby which flashes back to his World War II days and an ultra secret mission that he participated in. This was a great story line that introduced a new character who is living in Fabletown but I'm not sure whether he'll show up again. Then comes the meat of this volume with the continuation of the main storyline as the rest of the book follows "The Mean Seasons". Snow White gives birth and the election takes place. Both events cause a slew of fallout and meanwhile those in charge decide it is time to prepare to take on The Adversary.
Not one of my favourite issues what with the jumping around. Cinderella is not a character I like, but I love Bigby and his feature storyline was a lot of fun. The main plot was mostly sideline stories, which I enjoyed, but I am hoping to see the main story arc move forward in the next volume. (And I've received info that it does. So I am really looking forward to Volume 6). Overall, a fun volume. I enjoyed all the storylines except the first isolated story about Cinderella."
"I really enjoyed Bigby's backstory... part of the reason I love this set of graphic novels is because of the never ending references to awesome characters that are so intelligently incorporated into Fabletown and it's heritage. I must agree with other reviews I've seen; I much prefer the volumes that are one larger story arc versus the volumes that are mostly various one shots... but the details that they allow you to have in terms of character development and furthering the scope of the realm of Fables makes it well worth it, to me."
"We see the result of Snow White and Bigby's weekend away together as seven interesting children are born. Also, a flashback to what exactly Bigby was up to during WWII."
