I do so love the Fables series.  Somehow I completely forgot to pick up this volume when it was released last year.  Thankfully I rectified that mistake.  The best part of this volume was the storyline concerning the cubs and the choosing of the new North Wind.  I love the idea of one of the cubs becoming a new god.  The story focusing on Buffkin was interesting, but didn't captivate me.  I did love the implications in the Christmas story towards the end.  The overall story progresses well, but ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.  We are left with some major unanswered questions.  I hope they are resolved in the next volume.  I must put it on my library list for later this year.
