Well, this was a lot of fun. Cinderella makes a good James Bond-esque character :D

If you do plan on reading the two Cinderella books you might want to check out the reading order related to fables, I started this one too early and got spoiler'd but came back to it when I'd caught up...

I get a big kick out of Cinderella as a secret agent, in Willingham's Fables world. Dot Gale makes an unexpectedly logical psychopath.

Cute, but not as strong as the first Cinderella spin-off. Cindy is a terrific character, though, and I'd be happy to read more stand-alones with her as the star.

It really came into its own by the 2nd volume. Too bad there's nowhere to go after this.

Worth only two stars, really, but I gave an extra one because I love Fables' Cinderella.

An entertaining enough read. Not a patch on the main arc, and I actually preferred the previous Cinderella story. It’s quite cliched throughout (though it’s near impossible to escape that with spy stories).

Very underwhelming. With how it ended, what was the point? Lots of bikini panels and Cinderella in various states of undress. Does not live up to Fables at all. Chrissie Zullo has lovely cover art as always.

I really need to stop reading the Fables spinoffs out of order. Luckily, this Cinderella-centric volume seemed more standalone than the last Fables spinoff I read, so kudos there already.

There wasn't as much spying as I would have liked, but I enjoyed it nevertheless, and I certainly liked it better than the Jack of Fables spinoff.

Also, Cindy is awesome.
