I thought this was a good addition to the Fables mythos. I appreciated the fact that it referenced enough of the known characters of the Fables comics, but remained focused on Peter, Max and Bo. Sometimes my problem with the comics is that there are too many players involved so each of their stories gets too diluted. I had hoped that this novel would've also gone longer. Max is truly one of the creepier and more disturbed characters in Fables, but his appearance in Fabletown by the end of the novel felt so rushed. Certain parts of the story, in general, felt rushed; the story started off plot-heavy in the beginning, but tapered off in the last few chapters, almost as if the author just wanted to wrap things up in the neatest fashion possible. I wanted to learn more about Bo's assassin training, and even more of Peter's life as one of Hamelin's top thieves. Don't get me wrong: I adored this book and would be thrilled if there were more Fables novels in the pipeline. Bill Willingham continues to impress me with his creative imaginings on the seemingly innocuous characters of childhood stories, and I'll keep buying these books as long as they keep making them.
