Book Reviews of Fables Vol. 8: Wolves
Book Review: The story continues and grows
Summary: 4 Stars
Willingham and crew continue to do a great job with this entertaining and imaginative series. For those of you who came in late: fairy tale characters are real - and living in exile in New York. War has driven them from their homelands, and inner divisions have threatened their secretive society in our mundane world.
The story moves smoothly, with all the things that a long-lived series needs: old threads to wind down, new ones to explore, and continuity to pull us along. The old involves Bigby wolf, living in self-imposed exile. It turns out that his unique skills can help Fabletown in a daring counter-attack against the nearly-unstoppable opponents. A year-long search ends his absence and, at the same time, starts a new phase in the ongoing war. Another new element arises near the end of this collection, when emissaries form a tottery alliance with the cloud kingdom at the top of Jack's beanstalk. Continuity comes from Jack's family, the charming litter of six-plus-one children and their mother, Snow White, and their new life together.
I recommend that you read these books in order. Collections 1 through 7 set the background of events and characters taken for granted in this, the eighth. I really just recommend that you read them, though. The series sustains its energy well and, even more than at the beginning, I really want to follow the lives of these wonderful characters.
