Fables, Vol. 13

The integration of so many different fairy tales must have been complex—I'm curious how the author decided which stories to weave together and why.

The series often mixes lighthearted moments with darker themes, and this volume seemed to handle that balance really well. Was that intentional or just natural evolution?

The world-building felt so rich and lived-in — I wonder if the author drew from real-world communities or kept it purely fantastical.
