I stayed up from 00:01-5:56 to read this ASAP after being tortured to wait after reading the first two... And now I shall return to being TORTURED once more. JLA weaves magnificent tales. Never have I found myself so enrapt in the world and characters of each page. Mastery and I am so glad I stumbled across it when I did. The third book does not disappoint. All those fan theories? Either squished like a bug, biting and gnawing with suspicion or leaving me outright crowing in the dead of the night with the righteousness or dismay I have been left with. And now... with that for an ending? I wait...
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of the audiobook for this tale in exchange for an honest review. Fable as a story has a smooth-sailing (pardon the pun) adventure tale that takes most of the twists and turns you expect in a satisfying way. The story lacks worldbuilding that at times feels important to plot development and I found myself often wanting to know more about the world itself and what that would mean for the characters and their intentions.
In terms of the audiobook, the team behind fable have picked the best person for the job. The speaker tells the story with the amount of gusto and passion hoped for, and makes the story entertaining. The only flaw with the audio presentation is that the gaps between chapters is fractionally too long, and each chapter had me glancing down to make sure that it hadn't paused itself!
Giving it a rating already seeing as I'm one of the few who got to see this amazing show during previews as well as having just finished reading the script through again. The set, actors, music show in one was incredible with some inspiring moments of dialogue that tugged at both the heartstrings and the laughter trapped in our throats. I may be biased as a Harry Potter fan but I can truly say that from where I was sat the story (which is exactly what this is) was well woven and well worth the money spent and I cannot believe I can finally hold each and every line in my hands... Moments within the script truly bring each of these characters to life especially those we got a brief mention of in the Deathly Hallows epilogue. As a stand alone script I believe there will truly be some magic lost by those who have yet to see it, however it will be a script well worth... Pardon, it IS a script well worth a five star review.
