Even without the enemy's interference, though, I found that love was seldom true, and that happiness never last forever after.

This issue was a treasure trove of quotes, and everything coming full circle for Cinderella, was what made me want to give this five stars.
Fairy godmother as the villain, the one who is forcing people to smile, because she is crazy about happiness even if she will force it on people, even if it's fake happiness.
Her ruining the life of Cinderella by pushing her to be with a cheating bastard like prince charming, who she knew was not good from the get go, because she was also the one who made him get together with briar rose.
How Cinderella won with a rat, which she is known with from her days as a maid for her stepmother.
The quotes, every page had two or more of them.
It's high-level story telling, I initially thought this was written by Bill Willingham but it's written by a writer I didn't read to before Chris Roberson, great job man, I might not have like the entire graphic novel as much as this last issue, but it's still great ending, and great endings in stories that were mid for the most part, end up making them memorable.

(An aggregate review of Cinderella: Fables are Forever and Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love)

Am I thrilled that Cinderella spends a good chunk of time in a bikini? Not particularly. But if you enjoy femme fatales, film noir, Bond, plot twists, and competence, you'll like this. Narrated by Cinderella, who's been carrying out assignments first for Bigby Wolf, and then for Beast when he takes over as sheriff. These 12 issues fill you in on what Cindy's been up to since she became a spy, as well as a bit of insight to her life before.

You'll meet familiar characters such as Dorothy of Oz, Aladdin... and a few more, but mum's the word on those. The twist at the end of Fables are Forever is particularly fun.
