Okay, so I’ve finally finished every volume that the Fables universe has to offer. This one was a good story to go out on. I think it’s the only spinoff (bar 1001 Nights) that’s as strong as the main arc. Just really enjoyed it. Suuuper dark though. Also love the bi!Conner content. Plus, great to FINALLY see more POC in the Fables universe (that improvement came far too late, though).

I started the first volume a few years ago and took a break, and after returning to this second volume, I'm surprised at how, yeah, this is ridiculous and violent for the sake of being ridiculous and violent, but I'm still fond enough of the characters and the Fables world to keep reading.

Everafter basically reminds me of the later volumes of Fables where it just goes off the rails, but Everafter does it in a more condensed and shockingly compelling way. Maybe I just needed something this ridiculous.

Also, bless Travis Moore and his outstanding art.

A bit confused on what this one means for the series. An interesting story about school violence, but the rapes and violence are pretty out of control and if you're going to go the direction you go with it, maybe don't try and be so funny about it and try and give the story within more room to breathe.
