Chris Roberson (author) and Shawn McManus (artist) team up to bring Fables fans another look at the classic fairy tale character, Cinderella. Many Fabletown residents see Cinderella as the ditzy blonde, owner of the local shoe store, and world traveler. However, behind this shallow view is a smart, well-trained secret spy who does the dirty work for the Fabletown government.
I love powerful female characters, especially ones that are strong, independent, and can hold their own against anyone and anything. Roberson's Cinderella fits this description perfectly, so I adored the kick-off to this supplemental series to Fables. From Fabletown With Love brings us action, humor, and even an attempt at romance. It was a great combination and an enjoyable read. I look forward to seeing where Cinderella takes us on more of her covert adventures.
Have you gone undercover with Cinderella? What are your thoughts on this Fables spin-off?
I have not read any "fable" spinoffs yet, this might be a good place to start. I love a strong female character.

Chrizette Bayman ... I have read the majority of the spin-offs and this one is my favorite so far. The only one I'm currently missing is Fairest, but it's on my shelf from the library right now!
DeleteI love the Cinderella spin-offs! It's great to see how powerful she really is. (Then again, I go totally nuts over this series, so of course I love Cinderella's books too!)
