This is volume #3 in the Fables series and I very much enjoyed the read through of this one. I felt as though Animal Farm was a little better just becuase it didn't skip around the world quite as much and so we got to grips a bit quicker with the characters, but that doesn't mean this was worse, it just means there was more packed in and it was an expansion of the world, characters and overall plot. In terms of the pacing of this series I do love that every time I think 'ooh, wait' as if I have figured something out it's immediately contradicted or explained so you never feel like anything is too drawn out or dull. I also really like the relationships that we're starting to see develop between some of the different main characters and I am looking forward to these progressing as the story goes on.

This mostly focuses on the ongoing conflict between Bigby, Snow White and Bluebeard and when a Mundy (normal human) starts to ask questions about Fabletown and the people who live there the three of them, and some of the other Fables, have to do some quick thinking to sort out the issue. I think Bluebeard was certainly a pretty scheming character in this and I enjoyed seeing the twist about our other Public Enemy No. 1 becuase that was surprising to me.

On the whole I still really liked this but didn't get quite as caught up in the story as I did with Animal Farm. I also felt as though some of the changes to art style were a little bit of an annoyance becuase although I don't 'dislike' the newer style, it means that the characters are not as quick to recognise and that's always an irritation for me (Bigby's character style change is the one I most dislike but we'll see how it continues).

Overall a 3.5* rating from me. Looking forward to the next one very soon!
