This is another great volume as Willingham is really good at writing battle scenes. This book sees the confrontation between Revise and the Book-burner and just like the battle with the Adversary this is not a straightforward fight. There are also some revelations about Jack’s ancestry which seem less successful.

The art is good with Tony Akins doing pencils throughout. There seem to be a lot more square panels and straight edges than you are used to which is unusual for a frenzied battle-scene.

This is the book that precedes The Great Fables Crossover.

Thumbs Up!
