Mixed feelings with this volume. Volume 3 is still much better.
Story-wise, three stories were grea, having sufficiently twisted endings: The Little Mermaid, Three Blind Mice, and Ugly Duckling. The rest were average. The overarching story sees Belinda taking centre stage, after what happened to Sela in the previous volume. And predictably the closing story is a sufficiently weird revival plot that presents more questions than answers.

Art-wise, it was subpar and inconsistent; several panels were downright ugly. The really good bit was the inclusion of a gallery of covers - if only the content artwork were of a similar quality.
