A review by readerette
Fables, Vol. 1: Legends in Exile by Bill Willingham

dark mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

The illustrations are good in a classic-comic way and the concept is interesting, but the mystery is pretty transparent and I couldn't get invested in the characters. Everyone is a hard-boiled trope (not even very true to their fairy tale origins, just general literary tropes), so I'm not interested to continue the series.
