Full review on fable

Not sure I would have been as interested in knowing what happens if I hadn’t read so many good reviews. A couple of good twists but I did find myself skim reading a few sections in the last third.

This twisty thriller is very popular on the several Facebook Book groups I follow, so when it was a Kindle deal I thought I'd take a punt. I found it rather slow going, but once I got to a big twist it picked up a bit, and I did enjoy it, although I'm not sure it lived up to the hype. A decent 3 star read though.

Considering I did not like Sometimes I Lie, this was quite a step up. I am not an avid consumer of thrillers but I am pretty good at predicting plot points/etc. I can honestly say that I did not predict this one, and it was a pretty good plot twist. I didn't care for the subsequent twists though?? It kind of felt tacked on and convoluted. It was very bingeable though I found the beginning very slow, it only picked up the pace at about 70%. It is very much about unreliable narrators though so if you don't like that, you won't like this book.
