Here's my thoughts: art was good, and I like how we got four different stories, as opposed to the first book where it was all one story, because we got more info overall, and we didn't have to keep seeing different art styles over the same story. As for the individual stories: Hook: Interesting, and we rarely get to see pre-hook Killian, so it was cool. Liked that we had Liam (even though it was some sort of fake Liam) again. Felt like this could be a real episode flashback. Rumbelle: Also interesting, although I'm kind of sick of seeing so many scenes of Belle as Rumple's servant. We get it, they are Beauty and the Beast, no need to shove it down our thoats. On the plus side, I'm glad we saw that Belle actually had a life pre-Rumple, and I like how they worked in Rumple getting Pandora's Box. Felt like this could have also been a real episode flashback. Regina: Less interesting then the other three. I'm kind of getting sick of seeing Regina blaming Snow all the time, although I get she has to be that way up until the dark curse for continuity sake. I like how Daniel had a brother, seeing as as important as Daniel is to our core plot of the show (for starting the Regina-Snow feud with his death), we never knew much about him. Not sure if this could have been a real episode flashback, unless we were getting a revealation about William in present day or something. Jefferson: So interesting! And so needed! Finally, the story about what happened to Jefferson's wife. Love how they worked in the Dodo and the March Hare as well. And Camelot too. Felt like not only could have been a real episode flashback, but that if Seb. Stan wasn't so busy with other projects, it would have been. Hopefully, we can have him back on the show again at some point. I caved in too... after one day! Lol, Belle apparently didn't do any thing prior Rumple or after Rumple we didn't see. Must be a sad life for her. Hook's would be okay as a flashback if they found a way which they could. I think all of these would work, except for Regina's because it's quite showing of Regina's lack of logic or her non-stop anger at Snow.

William: Regina, you killed my brother. You knew what would happen. Regina: My mother crushed his heart. It was because of Snow. Snow did it! Snow! William: No, it's not snowing. Snow didn't crush his heart. I mean it's just frozen water. Regina: I mean Snow White. William: Oh, I knew that! Regina: Anyway, join me and we can make her pay! William: No, you'll pay. Regina does what she does. Regina: Curse you, Snow! I'll get revenge on you.....for something that was totally my fault and unrelated!
