Not Worth It, Even for Fable Fans

Revisado: 04-19-23

tl;dr, Story was bad and has no resolution.


So I just recently replayed Fable III and was interested in this book when I discovered it, but was ultimately disappointed. It's not the worst thing ever, but as someone who likes the series and was interested in both hearing about what happened to the Fable III hero in the future, as well as seeing how it tied into Gabriel's story, it was disappointing on both fronts.

On the first front, there was an A and B storyline that relates to the characters in Fable III. In the A plot, the more interesting part of the book, the Hero travels to another kingdom and faces some interesting odds, but ultimately he fails and just gives up, while I, the reader who likes the series and knows how strong this character is, am just completely baffled as to how he came to that conclusion. Also his friends imply they'll come back, but it never shows that. It ends on a cliffhanger with neither a sequel having ever been planned, nor an explanation in the game this supposedly leads into. Also, the B plot was just about the Hero's wife, who is just an unlikable character, and again, has no resolution to her story. Supposedly this ties into Fable: The Journey, but it really doesn't, beyond mentioning the protagonist of that game very briefly. In fact, the book never clearly states how he ties into the main story. Maybe he's thinking about these events? Either way, it's not clear. I'm not a huge stickler for staying to the series lore, or even looking for an amazing story experience, but this book fails to deliver a fraction of that.
