Fables, Vol. 22: Farewell by Bill Willingham
3.0
I don't know how I feel after this.Thi final conclusion to this amazing universe is pretty unsatisfying.
This series was absolutely fantastic, I'd go through 3-4 volumes a day and then wait impatiently for amazon to ship the next batch. The conclusion of the Adversary act was amazing, Mr Dark was also very interesting and downright creepy. But then, they kind of rand out of a main villain/antagonist, and had some random ones here and there (leigh, brandish, nome king). So it seemed the series was headed towards a quiet fizzle out. But then! Out of nowhere, a sibling rivalry leading to the ultimate battle that will destroy worlds is shoved in out of nowhere. It makes absolutely no sense, and has not been built up at all. Snow and Rose were finally getting along and had evolved their relationship, then out of nowhere people start telling them it's inevitable they fight because they can never be on the same world as the other again (since when?????????). And they actually go to war Without. Ever. Talking. To. Each. Other. First. And then the big battle they are building towards doesnt happen. Hurray?
Overall a quite disappointing conclusion. 3 stars mostly for nostalgia and the one development I did like, that the fables went back home.
