I’ve been reading the Fables series in trade paperbacks for a while now, and with this volume I’m finally caught up. I don’t know if it’s just because this is the first volume I had to wait for, but The Good Prince for me was a real standout; I might go so far as to say it is my favourite volume yet. This was a bit of a surprise, since it focused on an up-until-now minor character, Flycatcher, rather than following old favourites. Still, Willingham has shown his ability to write interesting characters again, and, rather than “just” adding another gem to this series, he’s really upped the ante. The only problem is, now I need to start going month to month!
