Fable 2 Golden lives in Loveland Colorado with her artist husband and their two cats site_link The official prequel novel to the Xbox 360 videogame Fable The Journey It s been almost a decade since the events of Fable 3 when the Hero vanquished the threat across the sea and claimed his throne As king he led Albion to an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity But on the night of his wedding to his new queen ominous word arrives The darkness has returned Beyond a harrowing mountain pass the exotic desert country Samarkand has been overrun by shadowy forces Within the walls of its capital city a mysterious usurper known only as the Empress has seized control To protect his realm the king must lead his most trusted allies into a strange land unknown to outsiders As they forge ahead along Samarkand s ancient Great Road populated by undead terrors and fantastic creatures once believed to be the stuff of legend the king is drawn ever closer to his greatest challenge yet But soon Albion is engulfed in a war of its own As the darkness spreads town by town a treacherous force has infiltrated the queen s circle Now the fate of all that is good rests with a faint flicker of hope that somewhere somehow heroes still do exist 2012 Microsoft Corporation All Rights Reserved Microsoft Fable Lionhead the Lionhead logo Xbox and the Xbox logo are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies Fable Edge of the WorldAs someone who loves the Fable games I was so excited to find this book at the store but almost as soon as I started reading it I was disappointed First of all I was a little disappointed that the author did not opt to have a female Queen as Fable 3 the game this book picks up after allows the gamer to pick between boy or girl Regardless it was just a little thing for me and I kept on reading The characters in the book in my opinion are true to their personalities in the game but she doesn t go too far with them so they all read like a bunch of 2 dimensional robots every now and then giving one liners there s no depth to any of them The King gets married to the most obnoxious awful character named Laylah which was created by the author She whines about everything from beginning to end and I ended up feeling glad when things went horribly wrong for her because she rarely made a wise decision on anything I was disappointed that the author opted to make the King get married in the first place as the game is supposed to be based on adventure and while you can get married it really is such a tiny part in the actual game that it s basically irrelevant Further any time the author mentioned sex it made me cringe because she wrote allusions to it like a shy middle school girl and the topic should have been left out of the book completely. Fabelmans cast A lot of things are packed into a very small book without anything really going anywhere or any explanations for anything The King goes on a quest to defeat The Darkness and makes blunder after blunder after blunder Then he gets a dragon WHY and flies off to a monastery and despite the fact that there s a huge important task at hand he decides to stay there for a few days learning new tricks which he never brings up again after the fact Towards the end I was dying to get the book over with and really disappointed that out of a really fun and great game the author was unsuccessful with writing even a decently interesting story Paperback My first completed novel of 2015 ie not manga and what a stinker Being a lover of Fable I III a series of XBOX fantasy rpg video games and fantasy novels I was all set to adore this book Alas it was not meant to be. Ebook tablet This book just crushes everything Fable III was about The Darkness that was crushed in that game is back and as strong as ever How no one knows So the sacrifices made in the previous battle counted for nothing. Fables de One complaint that other reviewers have addressed is that in Fable III and II you could chose to play as a prince or princess later to be king or queen and the hero monarch here is most definitely male being a king an all While I understand why the author would settle on a gender for clarity when writing I do wish we could have had a female or at least maybe a future book featuring a Hero queen instead of a Hero king. Fable 3 book locations Another problem I have with the king is that EVERYONE LOVES HIM AND HE LOVES EVERYONE ELSE AND EVERYONE HAS A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING KILL ME NOW In the game if you choose to be an altruistic monarch most of the population will love you Zoom in on the word most there and you can always make individuals hate you depending on if you have rude or violent interactions with them or in front of them There is no such thing as every citizen loving their leader even in make believe Fable. Fabled legacy codes The king just came off as too happy no matter what happened and not just to put a brave face on it his thoughts told 3rd person don t ever seem too alarmed about any setback or even about going away to war on his wedding night. Fables scrabble A miner detail I caught early in the book states that the king s hair is getting a bit gray In the game the Hero was I would estimate 16 20 years old and this book takes place 9 years later the king is 25 to 29 here While some people start graying earlier than others I ve caught gray hairs since I was 25 due to having been through a big health ordeal but here it just seemed to be a week attempt to show that time had passed when the king gazes in the mirror. Fable 2 Another thing that annoyed me is that the king never had a name He was king to the readers as well as everyone around him The queen didn t even have a pet name for him The main character never had a proper name in the game either but the author is creating a whole lot here that wasn t even loosely mentioned in the game I don t know why she couldn t just call him something anything. Fablex pants And I thought it was a very stupid plot point that as the hero was thinking of the deceased Sir Walter Jasper the butler and a dragon the magical sand in front of him turned into a wise dragon who sounded like Jasper when he spoke I just thought that was really stupid Stupid stupid stupid. Fab lexile Speaking of stupid here we have the Grand Supreme Idiot Queen Laylah Everyone loves her because she is so kind and sweet So the book says She s OK but I don t see her as being very kind or sweet They say she would go out aming the populace and do good deeds but she doesn t do it during the course of the novel nor does she seem to miss it it s not even on her mind In fact she gets vindictive towards the leader of her army Timmins because he is rough with her when he teaches her sword fighting she s learning sword fighting because she s such a useless prat despite growing up in a region afflicted with demons she just hid in a hidey hole all her life apparently Come on he s trying to toughen her up and he s in the army My grandfather that lived with me and my family used to be a drill sergeant in the army and he could be very rough and course sometimes you have to be when you re going to fight wars so army men women can t really be blamed if they are rough around the edges Because of this early on she wants Timmins dismissed from service just because he tells her how badly she is progressing to her face I m sensitive but OMG What a baby Where is her kindness and understanding now Second the queen hails from Aurora an isolated place with no government or army just a woman Kalan who speaks for them She couldn t be further away from politics if she sealed herself in a cave But as soon as the king is gone to help defend Samarkand from the Darkness she starts second guessing many of the key bills he enacted that are working perfectly fine but she thinks could be better suited to the country if sheyou knowreversed it For example she wants to enact a curfew that never existed in previous years in the location of her best friend Page s information network This ring of spies loyal to Page not only supply information to current the king and queen but they were key in overthrowing the king s evil brother who ruled previously She expects Page to understand because it s where she and her spies were centralized when they were gathering information on the last king s strategy secrets and such essentially Laylah is thinking that someone will try to overthrow her and her husband in the same way and location though she doesn t use those words exactly Understandably in my opinion Page does not understand because she is performing a service and fiercely loyal to the king and this could hamper her Laylah then gets in a huff befitting her childlike intelligence I don t know why the king married her or what he saw in her. Fable 3 When the evil Reaver shows up who her husband himself told her was an awful man who tried to kill him for entertainment she immediately takes him on board as an advisor while she will not listen to Page or Timmins The short version is she learns what a buffoon she really is Finally the ending What ending This book seems like it s only half or 2 3 of the way through by the last page and the story is not continued in the game that this is prequel too but on that below We never learn what the evil Empress s agenda is why or how she is controlling the Darkness or who the boss she eludes to is It ends unresolved the Albion forces are beaten back the Darkness still exists and the king is in the Empress s dungeon while Page and Timmins are just at the end being summoned back to the castle after having to flee for their lives because Laylah believed Reaver over them This novel really doesn t serve well as a good prequel to Fable The Journey either Only the prologue and epilogue directly tie in to it and it doesn t amount to much the main part of the novel is a continuation of Fable III which takes place a long time before The Journey where Heroes haven t existed for decades I haven t played The Journey but I ve read the plot synopsis online and none of the characters from the novel Fable III have anything to do with it except for Theresa Theresa is a common thread through the whole series though so that s nothing special. Fable 4 I don t know what the point of this novel was except to ruin my happiness at the end of Fable III Paperback Crap Paperback The beginning of this book was quite confusing It did not give a solid lead into the actual story It took me reading it a few times too just ignore the first few pages and continue reading It isn t until the very end it somewhat connects As I continued to read the plot began taking form It continued to improve as I got deeper into the actual story. Epub tablet There were several key characters but primarily King of Albion his new queen Laylah the royal dog Rex the king s loyal subjects Page Captain Jack Timmons Ben Finn and Shan from Samarkand Of special interest is also Jasper devoted servant Reaver a villain hero Barrow the butler Other key characters are added toward the end of the book. Science Fiction Fantasy fabled legacy After a vicious battle the king and hero rules Albion He takes a bride On their wedding day following the ceremony Shan from Samakand arrives exhausted with a warning the greatly feared Dark Shadows are coming It is deiced the king and his army will have to go to Samakand to fight there before the enemy can penetrate the border of Albion Within days the king Ben and his army leave on their journey to war Laylah is left with Page Jack and Rex To say much would ruin the story Needless to say the rest of the book danced between the two groups. Fabletics men While inexperienced Laylah tries to valiantly run the kingdom of Albion she finds it much difficult than she believed She makes blunders and good choices as well The king and his group runs into many severe and unexpected challenges In the end the reader is left with great anticipation for the next book of the series I highly recommend you have the next book ready to read. Fablezone darkrp I feel this is a little too mature for elementary age It is very violent at times and could be quite frightening for young children There are also references to the wedding night that is a little advanced for children or should be It is recommended for Middle School age students and HS age Especially toward the last half of the book it emphasizes some important qualities and teaching tools that could be discussed with youth or in book clubs These are also made into a video game collection. Fable public school My review of this book offers a weak Four Stars rating Weak because of the beginning and a few unclear parts of the story Four Stars due to the adventure action and literary value in the last two thirds of the book which was very well written It was also cleanly written so parents except for the violence feel at ease with your youth reading this Paperback A good bridge between Fable 3 and F Journey my only stumbling point is that I played F3 as a female so I had no king pThe book is well written Percy is hilarious and Reaver an ass Need to go finish Journey to see if they finished up the story at any point as this is definitely a to be continued situation Paperback I was apprehensive about reading this the thought of reading someone else s version of my hero put me off Additionally having not enjoyed Fable Blood of Heroes I was nervous to pick this up I was completely wrong I loved reading this I enjoyed having the gang back Page Ben Sabine Jasper etc Switching between Albion and Samarkand was really interesting It s a shame about the ending though the cliffhanger is setting up Fable The Journey which I haven t played so I wish it had a satisfying conclusion Paperback As someone who has played the absolute hell out of Fable II and III I had higher hopes for this book Sadly for a book so short it often just plodded along never quite seeming to reach any of the end goals in its plot and subplots I also felt there was a lot of black and white going on in terms of characterization Ben Finn was the only canon character who felt 100% true to his game counterpart Page Timmins and Reaver felt off Especially Reaver For all the terrible things he s capable of I get pretty tired of people acting as though just because he s capable of this horror or that horror he is capable of ALL horrors Even he had his limits however vile he could otherwise be. Fablex taxi I also found it frustrating that the king was never given a name That might make sense in game but the books should have no such constraints Likewise his character was rather bland and predictable Laylah wasokay I won t hate on her as others have I was okay with her being flawed and falling for Reaver s line it was believable as the man is pretty damn slick when he wants to be but I did find it contradictory to have her so beloved by the people so naive and doe eyed and ultimately infantilized by those who know her All in all the book isn t terrible it just fell short for me personally I think I ll stick to reading my friend s Fable fanfiction Her writing is a lot crisper for one and for two her take on what follows Fable III is a sight interesting and original Paperback For those who haven t played Fable and decided to pick this book up I can understand why you didn t like it For those who did play Fable and decided to pick this book up I can still understand why you didn t like it. Fabletics scrubs The idea was there but not executed very well The plot feels rushed so it s hard to connect with the characters and have empathy when bad things happen to them However I did connect to a few characters but that s only because I played the game and felt like I d already gone on adventures with them. Fable book summary The book ends on a cliffhanger and a To Be Continued But it s been 12 years with no new release so I don t have a lot of hope For a short book based off a video game it was an all right read I probably won t read it again but now I have an itch to replay all the Fable games Paperback Este libro me ha drenado horas de felicidad. Fabel kinder Vaya puta agon a el Rondador estaba muy fet n vale pero poner un puto enemigo que sea La Oscuridad en un juego donde puedes ser malo o bueno es una patochada de dimensiones colosales y hacer un libro donde el protagonista en si proviene de un juego donde no tiene personalidad tambi n Encima si haces que el resto de los personajes tengan personalidad gen rica 1 Conclusi n Que Fable IV sea sobre la poca de los Arcontes sobre la era de los heroes o cualquier punto entre eso y Fable II pero de Fable III para delante solamente hay desgracia argumental Paperback This book ends on a cliffhanger that the games never answer That may seem like a spoiler but it s not it s just incredibly relevant and important if you plan to pick this up Iloved The Balvarine Order didn t particularly enjoy Blood Ties and thought they rightfully changed author for this book The story is phenomenal It feels like I m right back in the Fable universe and the way the author described the world had me drifting away while reading it It s a great book but the fact that the story doesn t get a resolution has to mean it gets marked down Paperback
