Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A USA TODAY Bestseller
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Unicorn comes a “gorgeous and vibrant and wistfully fantastic” (Travis Baldree, New York Times bestselling author of Legends and Lattes) new novel in which a loveable cast of characters trapped within their roles of dragon hunter, princess, and more must come together to take their fates into their own hands.
Dragons are common in the backwater kingdom of Bellemontagne, coming in sizes from mouse-like vermin all the way up to castle-smashing monsters. Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabalus Thrax (who would much rather people call him Robert) has recently inherited his deceased dad’s dead job as a dragon catcher/exterminator, a career he detests with all his heart in part because he likes dragons, feeling a kinship with them, but mainly because his dream has always been the impossible one of transcending his humble origin to someday become a prince’s valet. Needless to say, fate has something rather different in mind…

“You can’t go into this one expecting something like ‘The Last Unicorn’ - think more 90’s-era lighthearted medieval themed comedy with a fun range of sensible chuckles.
The last third stumbled a bit for me, and I wish it could have been longer and more able to breathe. Fun time all-around!”

“This is such a cozy read. Definitely a book for the younger generations, YA at most. Mild romance, but fun and adventure for sure. There is a bit of How To Train Your Dragon vibes, especially considering the MMC and his job/father situation. The villain isn’t overly complex, neither is the plot. It’s simple and fun and has just the right amount of world building for a shorter book. Loved it.”About Peter S. Beagle
