"Summary: This volume is a turning point in the series; many important events happen which will make the continuing story take a new turn.
Comments: This is probably the most exciting volume I've read to date. I just loved every part of it! We start off with a two issue story solely concerning Jack which is integral to his character's future. A very enjoyable story. Then we move onto the heart of this volume where for the first time the setting switches to the Homelands and we see what life is like there now. I won't go into details, but an incredible story takes place with many twists and turns and amazing reveals as we learn the truth of who the Adversary is and how and why they took over the homelands. (I made a wild guess a few books ago based on some loopy logic as to who the Adversary was and I WAS RIGHT! The reveal is really well done and right up to the very last page turn I still didn't know if I was going to be right or not). This story line is 5 issues long but is broken up in the middle with a one issue story of what is going on back at Fabletown where many secrets are revealed and we also get to meet up with Mowgli for the first time and revisit his Jungle Book friends. I'm absolutely gleefully eager to get on to the next volume."
"Given that there are 11 volumes so far I will refrain from reviewing every one individually, but I have to stop here and say: this is where the twist is. This is where the question everyone's been asking for five books gets answered. And the way the creators choose to answer it is why this book goes from 4 to 5 stars; even if I had called it the reasons for it are expertly done."
"FINALLY! The veil is lifted and we get to see what exactly the Homelands are like...or at least what they're like now after being ravaged and held by the merciless Adversary. Blue takes us on a journey filled with fantastic villains, including the evil and beautiful Snow Queen."
"Spoiler alert for those who haven't read the previous volumes of Bill Willingham's Fables series.
In this volume, we follow Boy Blue's journey back to the Homelands where he seeks revenge for the death of his best friend, Pinnochio, and the imprisonment of his long lost love, Little Red Riding Hood. Through the use of a magic cloak not only does Boy Blue find out the true identity of the Adversary and the story behind his empire. Meanwhile back at Fabletown they welcome the Jungle Boy's, Mowgli, return. We also find out that Prince Charming enjoys throwing a few twists and turns into the plot line.
A bonus in this volume is a 2-part story of Jack Horner's movie adventures in Hollywood."
