So mad at myself for taking so long to read this next installment. It was perfect. I've always loved Flycatcher but now I love him with all. my. heart.
This is one of my favorite stories in the whole great series. I tell you something, Bill Willingham is one amazing author. He just keeps this story going and I'm so invested in it and I want to know more, even after 9 volumes.
The story in this long volume is about Fly or the Frog Prince and we see that he is truly worthy of the title. I hate to say anything about what happens because it is too amazing and awesome and I haven't really seen too much like this. There are similar things, but this is still it's own thing.
A new city is started in the Adversary's lands that he can't defeat, although he does try. Army after army is destroyed trying. The sacred groves are returned to the land and the dread army is mostly routed. I mean, this story is the topper in the series. It could be an end. It looks like everyone who wants could now go home and be safe, almost. Seriously, you need to read Vol. 9 and 10 just to finish this story. It is pretty great if you like fantasy.
Fables is one of the best series I have read. It's amazing.

"http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1288963.html?#cutid2[return][return]Having grumbled about the last few volumes in the series (including vol. 11 which I read a couple of months back) I am relieved to say that I really liked The Good Prince, in which Ambrose, the former Frog Prince, attempts to lead an army of the resurrected to establish his own haven of peace and tranquility on the territory of the Adversary. It's a good story; I felt it was not totally consistent with the way we've been given to understand the magic of the Fables works, but basically I suppose it can be handwaved into compatibility. It is a good, chunky volume of ten issues of the comic, all very nicely done (with the awful exception of one interlude which is separate from the main narrative)."
Finally, yes, finally! This was a long time coming, and it felt so god damn good.
Bit slower reading than the other volumes, but still so good
Fabletown is preparing for war and the wolf cubs learn a family secret, but most of this book focuses on Flycatcher.
I was never a huge Flycatcher fan, and although I loved the big reveal about his past, I wasn't all that interested in the self-aware Prince Ambrose either. There wasn't anything particularly bad about this volume, I'm just not a fan of the focal point.
For me the highlight was meeting up with the Wolf-clan and getting a few scenes between Rose and Blue.

I was really looking forward to this book, and it was very good. My only quip is that I wanted to know how the Good Prince's power worked. Excellent entry in the Fables saga.
I feel like I've been waiting forever for this volume- and it exceeded my expectations. I am so very happy with how this panned out, and the direction this is taking.
No spoilers here, but I am very pleased with the good prince in The Good Prince.

Ambrose is a Good. This was some of the very best use of the lore that Fables has built up. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if they let Ambrose's victory be the final blow against the Adversary and called it a day there
