As much as I loved the Jack of Fables series, towards the end I was just kinda done with it. It was good, don't get my wrong, I just wasn't on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what happened. I didn't get sucked into the world within the pages. Something just wasn't magical enough for me. I continue to read the main Fables series and love all the volumes. Jack just became a tiresome character and I never really got into his son, Jack Frost. I was ready to find out the ending. And boy was it an ending. As the volume notes, they went Shakespearean with the ending. Crazy stuff! Overall, a good read, just not great.
