Fables tells the story of what happens to the famous fairy tale characters we've read about in books and watched in movies after the happily ever after. They aren't too happy let me tell you and they are especially unhappy after being exiled from their world of kingdoms and magic to live with the mundys (mundane) in the real world i.e our world. Not only do they have to get actual jobs and try to make a living but they have to hide who they really are or risk the consequences of exposing themselves.
In this first volume of Fables Snow White's younger party girl sister Rose Red has gone missing and the evidence in her apartment says that not only is she missing but she's dead and its now up to the Big Bad Wolf who has been appointed Sheriff to solve the crime and catch the murderer.
Read very much like a crime mystery novel but filled with a host of unique and interesting characters Legends in Exile was a good start to what looks like is going to be a fun series.Its always great to see a classic retold in a whole new way and Fables did that very well with characters shown in a realistic light and smart storytelling.
