Ever since the last volume, where Jack relates how he’s
impervious to the cold due to having once been Jack Frost (oh, it involved
impregnating the Snow Queen, tricking her into letting him hold onto her
powers, and general acts of being a jerk), I’ve had a hard time liking these
books. Yes, Jack is a scallywag, but he
could at least be charming about it. At
least in this volume, Jack gets run through with a sword and we find out that
he’s not an original. If only it lasted
longer…
On the up side, though, Babe the Blue Ox is awesome. His elaborate daydreams with weird characters
are the highlight of this volume.
