Fables, Vol. 1: Legends in Exile by Bill Willingham
3.0
So, Fables.
I really was anticipating reading this. It was a pretty good book, but the Rose Red murder arc was too simple and uninteresting. I was able to solve it incredibly easily, and it really left me a little bit bored. Too drawn out. I really love the characters (Bigby might have to be my new hero), and the different takes on the fairy tale and fable characters, but I just think I wanted a little more. I didn't get to see what these characters are really made of, I didn't really connect with anything on an emotional level. If they would have left the silly detective story behind, it might have been a smoother read for me.
I'll probably be picking up the next book though, just to see what happens.
