I thought this one was fun because we get to meet one of the many world contained in the homelands; the Arabian Empire. So far the Adversary hasn't taken over their lands, but it's only a matter of time. An emissary from their land comes to Fabletown for talks and things escalate quickly when Prince Charming discovers they brought a jinn with them. It's the most destructive magical thing in existence and it could drastically change the direction of their alliance talks.

I can't decide if this volume was racist or just trying to recreate the fables as they are mythologized by western society... It was definitely one of the more boring volumes, probably because there was no bigby and snow.

Unfortunately, after the high quality of Volume 6, this was not the direction for Willingham to go. The Arabian Fables are depicted as unsubtle racist caricatures, and for the first time, the subtext of Willingham's conservative politics is rapidly becoming text. It is, frankly, an uncomfortable read, and a major disappointment after the upturn of the last few collections.

I enjoyed the Arabian nights story line but the real stand out of this volume was The Ballad of Rodney and June. So heart breaking and I loved the art.

Mmmmm the depiction of the Arabian Nights characters was a bit questionable. But the story is still fascinating and THE ADVERSARY OMG also wolf human babies

The adversary has invaded the Arabian Fable's homeland and Sinbad is sent to negotiate with Fabletown. We get to see the "collapse" of Prince Charming's naivety as the consequences of his ill thought plan to become mayor. Intel is brought to light from Boy Blue's invasion of the homelands and the consequences of that trip. Looking forward to the expansion of this world in the next book.

I want to like this, but I feel like the authors have at times really gone with tired and often racist handling of the Arabian fables. Maybe not super surprising, but disappointing nonetheless. Come on, comic-land, you can do better.
