- Definitely one of the best volumes
- This volume pretty much blew my mind away. Flycatcher had usually been such a insignificant character, and now... wow. The whole story was incredible, and I am eager to see what Volume 11 will bring. More reviews
- A satisfying entry in the series
- In this TPB, the story is centered on Fly, the friendly but simple janitor of Fabletown who was once the Frog Prince. His memories of his slaughtered wife and children have returned to him, and he sets off on a quest down the Witching Well, assisted by the Forsworn Knight. The story relies heavily upon classic themes from the Bible… More reviews
- Plot, plot, plot
- I have to agree with the previous 3-star review by Ethan Jennings: this latest addition to the--up to now--consistently excellent Fables series is indeed a disappointment.

- Wonderful story starring our humble janitor as a different kind of hero, finding his own way to persevere and win. I hope the peace can last in Haven. More reviews
- a good fable
- The Good Prince is an interesting story arc, sort of a side trip (though with much damage done to the Adversary) made by a background character. I found it difficult to care as much about Flycatcher as I did Snow, Bigby and the rest. It was a touching trip for us to make, but I hope we are now back to the real tale. More reviews
