The second half seemed rushed, which was a greater weakness than its predictability. I've really enjoyed the Arabian Knights fables and Aladdin was a great choice as co-star, so there's that. I've been reading Fables all along and I do love the concept of Cinderella's character, but the story itself was disappointingly insubstantial. I liked the fairy tale "Cinderella," as a die-hard, inveterate fairy tale aficionado, how could I not? But I definitely love the idea of Cinderella as an international spy even more. Her work is beautiful and luminous, showcasing a Fae delicacy to this lethal spy.Įven with a different writer, the spirit of the Fables series remains strong, and its focus on strong women prevails with Cinderella showing how spying Fable-style is done right.
The story is strong and the artwork is gorgeous, especially the cover art by Chrissie Zullo. Cinderella even faces some shadows from her own Fable past. They make a good team, and share humble origins. On this mission, she teams up with another recognizable character from the world of fairy tales and fables, that you might know as Aladdin. Assets being magical animal Fables with unique skill sets. She even has 'assets' who help her along as she needs them. This Fable can take care of herself and get out of some of the tightest spots.
She uses her benignly pretty debutante and shoe store owner facade as a weapon along with others in her arsenal. Cinderella has plenty of energy and authority as a spy. She's been a spy since shortly after she came over from the Land of the Fables, with Bigby Wolf as her spymaster. Cinderella is a Fable, an ex-wife of Prince Charming, and an internationally active spy.
