Among my favorite of the series so far, volume 6 fleshes out the world and sees Tom pushed past the point of breaking. Pullman is given real resonance while remaining an absolute bastard a la Octavia Butler's Doro. The Cabal's back story is told in part as well and we visit periods in the world's history which led to Tom Taylor's present misadventures.
I can’t stop reading this series. It’s that addictive. I love the inversion of magical boys and philosophy and the use of myth. Great stuff.
Clever, clever, clever. The most fun and well written comic I've read since Sandman. I am in love with this series. Tommy Taylor lives!
I feel like this is dragging on too much. They went hither and thither. There is a bit of excess stuff that is a bit unnecessary. But I am going to keep reading because I want to find out how it will end....hopefully not too badly.
Next to Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics, The Unwritten is my absolute favorite graphic novel series. I love these stories. Mostly, I love how they talk about the power of stories and how stories and words shape what is reality. They just really give me something to think about. Plus, there's lots of really great action and some terrific lines. I think these are a must read for any literature lover - - especially if you're a pretty well read English major like me.
This is a lot better than volume 5, which to me was more of a fevered sprawl of a collection rather than this, a focused epic tell that leaves behind a trail of the unknown and a waft of promise of what might turn into a more complicated turn of plot.
Tommy goes further into the maze that is the cabal, while trusting his companions; the enemy gains ground also, and a Mesopotamian fable is unfurled.
All in a day of the life of, you might say. The seasoned reader knows what to make of this.

In brief: Tommy Taylor’s been pushed to the limit by the Cabal and now he’s fighting back. Also includes backstory and more pieces to the puzzle. Sixth in a series.
Thoughts: I’ll confess, I was a little more there for the backstory sections than for Tommy taking the initiative, but I was also rooting for the guy and the backstory helped with that. There have been neat bits of book-based magic throughout the series, but here, in this volume, everything shoots to a whole new level, and it was great. And Carey’s gift for sprinkling the weirdest references into the book and making them make sense within the world-building is still going strong. Really enjoyed this one, and am wondering what will happen next. I’m sure Carey will keep surprising me.
8/10

Tom Taylor seems to have come into his own, wielding powerful spells from his father's fantasy novels and turning the tables on the Cabal and their murderers. But the magic comes with a cost, and the cabal are not easily defeated, and beyond them is the terrible Pullman who has his own agenda. The story of the Unwritten goes far back into history, the story of the mysterious Leviathan who feeds on stories and the Cabal who want to control them.
Fantastic stuff by Carey, Gross and a selection of other artists, weaving all sorts of stories, fables, myths and legends into the narrative about someone who is trying to find out if they themselves are real or a story, and whether there's any real difference between the two.

I am really enjoying this series and this volume was one of my favorites so far.
