Fable by Adrienne Young
2.0
Meh. It was ok.
Jesus this book got a lot of hype and I guess it really was one of the cases were everyone judged the book by it's cover. lol The cover is stunning but I can't say I loved this book.
It is VERY YOUNG adult, I guess I would even recommend it to middle schoolers if you ask me.
I struggled to read the entire first half of the book because it was simply WAY TOO BORING. The lack of dialogues, excessive description of things we really don't care about, no action what so ever and nothing changed for a total of 200 PAGES! Literally, after page 200 things started to get slightly more interesting. The pace picked up slightly and a few interesting things happened but man, this was harder than it was supposed to be to get through. West is an annoying character, her father is an annoying character, the villain in this book is an annoying character, none of them are really convincing, except for West's sister. Her relationship with Fable is the only one I enjoyed. Fable is ok, I see her as a good-hearted, hardworking teenager with some daddy issues.
Very very very slow paced, a lot of boring extensive descriptions of walls, streets and smells. The ending was meh, the whole thing was meh and I still can't say if I liked this book or not. I don't know if I will pick up namesake, it just feels like a chore at this point.
I might read namesake just so I can give a more informed review about this series, but for now I don't have a lot of good things to say.
I really wanted to like this book. This wasn't at all what I was expecting from the fuss people threw over this duology. 2/5. Like I said before, I would not recommend this book to anyone over the age of 16 to be honest. I think middle schoolers might enjoy it more.
