Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author and co-author of The Expanse comes an "atmospheric and fascinating" novel that unfolds within the walls of a single great city, over the course of one tumultuous year (Joe Abercrombie, author of A Little Hatred).
Kithamar is a center of trade and wealth, an ancient city with a long, bloody history where countless thousands live and their stories endure.This is Garreth’s.
Garreth Left is heir to one of Kithamar’s most prominent merchant families. The path of his life was paved long before he was born. Learn the family trade, marry to secure wealthy in-laws, and inherit the business when the time is right. But to Garreth, a life chosen for him is no life at all.
In one night, a chance meeting with an enigmatic stranger changes everything. He falls in love with a woman whose name he doesn’t even know, and he will do anything to find her again. His search leads him down corridors and alleys that are best left unexplored, where ancient gods hide in the shadows, and every deal made has a dangerous edge.
The path that Garreth chooses will change the course of not only those he loves, but the entire future of Kithamar’s citizens.
In Kithamar, every story matters -- and the fate of the city is woven from them all.

“Following off the unique start and setting laid down in “Age of Ash”, I appreciated the direction the author took with this book. Essentially telling the “other side” of the story from Book 1, it helped fill in a lot of information readers didn’t have previously.
Unfortunately, this narrative method left me feeling like I was mostly re-reading Book 1. While it was interesting to see the Elaine and Garreth from their own perspective, the first 2/3rds of the story don’t really progress the meta-story at all. The “Thread of Kithamar” and needing to know more about it kept me reading. Unfortunately, we don’t learn anything new about Kithamar, gods, or any other part of the overarching story until near the end of the book.
At the end of the day, it felt like I was simply trudging through the lives of two characters I wasn’t very invested in simply to learn about the story’s deeper mysteries. I could be a lot more forgiving if the mystery had been revealed earlier in the book but it just took way too long to get to the interesting part of the story.”
