NARRATED BY EMMA LYSY
THE DETAILS✎
❐ FABLE #1 of 2❐ YA FANTASY❐ PIRATES❐ FINDING YOUR "PLACE" IN LIFE❐ SOME ROMANCE❐ LENGTH OF AUDIO ➯ 8 HOURS, 51 MINUTES❐ I LISTENED ON LIBBY THROUGH MY LIBRARY (I ALSO RECEIVED AN ARC THROUGH NETGALLEY THAT I NEGLECTED TO READ AND OPTED FOR THE AUDIO VERSION INSTEAD)
First off, I love the cover, especially the twinkle in her eye, it's really gorgeous. Also, this is a duo, and the second cover kind of matches up with the first one...each one is a side of her face. The narration by Emma Lysy was mostly well performed...her alternate voices didn't always sound different from her normal voice...but she was rather perfect for the voice of Fable.
At its core, Fable is a story about a girl trying to find a place to belong with people she belongs with. With underlying themes of what makes a family a family and that it's not always actual family members. This is a story, you can't help but love, and Fable is a character you can't help but root for...there might be a few others to root for too. Coupled with a pirate-esque backdrop called The Narrows featuring wily thieves, deplorable traders, and the most notorious adversary of them all...her father.
While the bigger story at play has some closure...the book itself does end in a cliffhanger...which just means I'm eagerly awaiting the middle of March.
