A review by narflet
Fables, Vol. 9: Sons of Empire by Bill Willingham

3.0

I liked seeing things from the other side. I liked getting some kind of larger forward-looking view and it'll be interesting to see how things actually do play out in the end. I liked the introduction of Hansel, and how he was developed (made sense, and reminded me a bit of the recent Hansel & Gretel film!). I also liked the little vignettes on some of the other Fabletown members, I hope some of them will be developed further. The 'burning questions' issue that this volume ends on is a bit pants, however. A couple of them are almost interesting, but they really don't add anything (or answer anything) to the main plot lines. There are several actual questions that haven't been answered yet, that I hope do get followed up in future stories and aren't just forgotten about.
