Fables: The Deluxe Edition, Book Five by Bill Willingham
5.0
The weakest part of the book is the beginning with Jack.
I never really got into his story or his spin-off title, and the artwork is subpar, but just after that we get into the big stuff.
Boy Blue goes rogue and using the Witching Cloak and Vorpal Sword wreaks havoc in the Homelands, trying to get rid of the Emperor. He manages to do so, and finds out that Geppetto is the true power behind the throne, the Adversary.
One of the reasons I love him as the big bad guy is that his motivation is so well written. You can tell he is a truly good antagonist because he makes sense.
The second half of the book revolves around the Arabian fables, who have landed in Baghdad and are looking for allies in their fight against the Adversary's forces. Events are set in motion for the war to come.
One of the most entertaining books in the series.
