But I didn't really ever get into it the way I have in the past. Review: There was nothing wrong with this volume - it tells a fine, self-contained story, the art is as lovely as ever, there are some funny bits and some sad bits and some clever bits, basically everything I would expect out of a Fables installment. But the family she's left behind is frantically searching for her, and she soon finds out that being a queen - especially in a place like Toyland - is not all it's cracked up to be. She arrives in the world of Discardia, where broken toys go, and informed that she will be their queen. Show More what little courage she has and sets out. This whole series is recommended to fans of fairy tales and urban fantasy who love graphic novels. I really enjoyed reading more about Snow and Bigby’s children and how they are slowly fulfilling the prophecy. Overall a very solid addition to the Fables series. Fans of the series should be pleased with this addition, it’s one of the best Fables installments released in a while. The illustration was excellent and in keeping with previous installments.

There is also a side story about the Fables going to explore Mister Dark’s old castle and finding Nurse Sprat. I love how the story wraps up and what Therese decides to do to atone. This is a dark story and it is very well done. Mike Raicht’s The Stuff of Legend graphic novels do an excellent job exploring a similar theme. The evil toy kingdom is one that’s been written about before. We’ve meet the child that will become a king, in this story we read about the child that does an evil thing and the child that dies to stop her. The prophecy about Bigby’s and Snow’s kids is slowly coming to light. I loved the adventures in Toyland and how involved we are getting with Bigby’s and Snow’s kids. This was an excellent installment in this series. As Therese struggles to survive and struggles with her sanity, her brother Dare sets off to try and find her.

Toyland is a land inhabited by evil toys that needs a new Queen. Therese follows her creepy toy boat’s advice and ends up in Toyland. Show More inherited her kingdom in the last book and this book focuses on Therese and Dare.
