[...] I read Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall last month, fell in love straight away, and couldn’t wait to pursue the rest of the series. Legends of Exile is really the first in the series (1001 Nights of Snowfall is the prequel). Here we get introduced to Bigby the Big Bad Wolf (though he assumes body of a man as explained how he came to be in the prose story at the end of the book) and our beloved heroine Snow White. Snow is the the Director of Operations in Fables, the kingdom of fairy tales folks that ran away from their homelands to New York City (the fictional land :), because they were chased away by the Adversary. New York City is called “dreary mundane place: the one world the Adversary seemed to take no interest in.” And so there stay the exiles, trying to live alongside each other in their new home. They created the General Amnesty, in which all past crimes, debts, and grievances are pardoned and can never be brought up again. So bad or good in their previous lives, they all start anew in the new world (theoritically, at least). [...]

I’ve never heard of this book or series. I must have been hiding under a rock. Sounds like a great read.

This is one of the few books in this series I haven’t read yet! I think I will probably save it for last, but it does sound really good!

Suko: I was introduced to graphic novels by other bloggers too :)

Nymeth: That’s awful. It just proves that they’re being ignorant. I hope the law will never get through.

“When would all adults realize that not all books with pictures are kiddies?”

The day they do will be a happy, happy day. There’s a new law in the works in the UK that will make possession of any comics with sexual content illegal, the reasoning being that “everybody knows comics are meant for children, even if they have 18+ warnings”. It’s scary stuff.

Anyway, this sounds amazing. I’m sort of saving it for when I start getting severe Fables withdrawal symptoms, but I’m really looking forward to it.

Mee, you were the one to introduce me to “graphic” novels, and now I seem to hear and read about them
all the time. This sounds like one to pick up!
