Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
The superb aliens-in-your-head SF sequel to the wildly popular The Rise of Io, by the author of The Lives of Tao series
When Ella Patel's mind was invaded by the Quasing alien, Io, she was dragged into the raging Prophus versus Genjix war. Despite her reservations, and Io's incompetence, the Prophus were determined to train her as an agent. It didn't go well. Expelled after just two years, Ella happily returned to con artistry, and bank robberies. But the Quasing war isn't done with them yet. The Genjix's plan to contact their homeworld has reached a critical stage, threatening all life on Earth. To complete the project they need Io's knowledge - and he's in Ella's head - so now they're both being hunted, again.

“3.5
And so we have come to the conclusion of the Io duology. At least I think this is the last book in this series. Just like the Tao trilogy, The Fall of Io kind of leaves off unfinished. Almost leaving the ending to be determined by the reader, with an Epilogue to give you an insight on what could be. Now, I did not enjoy this one as much as I did the Rise of Io and that is because this plot felt very repetitive. I mean Ella was being chased, then doing the chasing, then doing a heist, then being chased, then...ok I think you get the picture. The Fall of Io picks up 2 years after the closing events of book one. We do get to see what transpired to Ella during the epitaphs at the beginning of every chapter. Which was fine, but it was more like Ella was doing good and realized good wasn't good enough and reverted back to her old ways. I think the other reason this didn't quite live up to book one is Ella. I thought in the first book, her moral compass was leaning more siding with the Prophus, while also having those moments of maybe the Genjix are on the right side. The Fall of Io was more like she hates everybody and everybody hates her, except for Roen and Cameron. This series is pure popcorn science fiction and such a blast. If anyone is looking for an under the radar science fiction series, look no further than the Tao trilogy and the Io duology.”
