I really enjoyed Volume 1 of Fairest when it was released; however, I never got the feeling while reading it that it was a series unto itself. It seemed more like a very long backup issue for the Fables series proper, and I was afraid that it would set a status quo for this new title, which would have been a shame because I was really looking forward to a spin-off that would explore the lives and stories of some of Fables' lesser-utilized characters. Luckily, Fairest Volume 2: Hidden Kingdom assuaged that fear.
This collection of issues #8-14 presents a very fun and captivating read, reminiscent of all the things that make Fables great, with enough differences to prove that Fairest can hold its own as a separate series. The characterization of Rapunzel, who has not received nearly enough exposure in the main series, is fantastic. She has a personality all her own, her back story and "powers" are explored in a unique and interesting way, and the relationship dynamic between her and Frau Totenkinder (whom I have greatly missed in recent Fables issues) is well worth the read.
The story is set back before the beginning of the Fables series and takes place mostly in Tokyo, so it is both temporally and physically displaced enough from its parent series to keep the story fresh and avoid too much reliance upon it. The inclusion of Japanese myths and folklore was really a welcome addition as well; it's nice to see some diversity creeping into this series, as that is something which is sometimes lacking in Fables. Again, that is the true gem here: Fairest really establishes itself in this volume as an opportunity to explore Fables-like stories without the baggage of the 120 or so issues worth of material Fables has accumulated.
