Fables, Vol. 19: Snow White by Bill Willingham
3.0
Consider the rating as for the latter 2/3 of the book.
I've got to admit, by this point I'm sick to death of Bufkin. The previous storylines were fine, but...urgh. Furthermore, his travelling-between-worlds-with-a-faithful-animated-companion (plus another in his case) is just a shade too like a certain character in a side series (no spoilers...). I read the first few pages then had to flip on to see just how far it'd drag out.
The remainder of the book was good, though I'd not rate it as one of the best by a long shot.
I'll continue reading but I was generally disappointed in this book considering how much I've enjoyed the rest of the series. Beast's arc was the redeeming factor, otherwise I might not have managed to summon up the enthusiasm for a three star rating.
I'm ready to move on and try the next, hopeful that it'll be a step in the right direction.
