This story arc explores Rose Red's life. Rose Red is the sister of Snow White. The book starts out with Rose Red suffering from a deep depression. As she examines her life from childhood to the present, she sees all of the things she's done good and bad to become the person she is today.
I loved the artwork as everything is detailed and beautifully drawn. Even the margins have colorful embellishments and each character has a design that is displayed when the story is focused on them.
The content, on the other hand, is definitely dark for the older / mature crowd. Even though the story is smart and has a sarcastic tone towards finding "Prince Charming" and living "Happily ever After"; horrible things happen to the characters. Some of which are just plain gross, like Snow White's treatment by the lecherous seven dwarfs.
This is the first "Fables" graphic novel that I read and I could tell that I jumped into the middle of a long story. I probably have spoiled a few twists in the story as well for not starting with book one. I did enjoy this novel and again I loved examining the pictures that I would like to read more; probably starting at the beginning.
