review 1: I've always enjoyed the stories where Cinderella goes off and serves as a spy/secret agent on behalf of Fabletown, and that's what she does again in this story arc. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have even half the magic as the other stories where Cindy is the protagonist (she doesn't even get her own self-title miniseries this time around). The basic plot is interesting: one of the mice who was turned into a coachman for Cinderella's big night at the ball, escaped and stayed a man/mouse and has, over the years, loved his way through a large swath of the population, leaving behind a veritable army of man/mouse hybrids in his wake. Someone has set these creatures to attacking Cinderella, Snow White, and others. Suspicion falls on Prince Brandish, but could it be someone el... morese's hand is at work here? This isn't a particularly inspired story, past the basic foundations of it, and the artwork isn't really up to regular Fables standards, either. It's not terrible, but coming on the heels of much more resonant stories, it's a bit of a let-down.
review 2: I kinda skipped ahead and read this volume. Missing out on Volume 3. (Should be in my mailbox soon.) Volume 2 being better than its first and Volume 4 doing the same. (More blood would of been nice.)Mice of Men is creepy if you don't like rats & mice. Cinderella' s new adventure is to save the Fairy Godmother but the mystery is from who. The weaklings (rats) are no match for Cinderella & Snow White. Battles galore, and magic come together and the Fairest of them all drink and celebrate.... but to be continued its not the end. less

Not bad. But not terribly interesting plot-wise.

Interesting premise, weakly executed.
