#fablebook

Things I liked:

-     There isn't a single character in this book that I did not like.  They all were really fun and different enough from each other that they all served the story well.  The fact that each character has a purpose and a role really helped that.  Sometimes in books that have a lot of characters is that some of them feel redundant.  But that is not the case in this book.  

-     I liked that the author didn't shove the romance between West and Fable in my face.  Sometimes that kind of thing works with a story, but this story defiantly benefitted from a more understated love arch.  Because the author didn't shove all the romance/angst at me in one go I thought the relationship between Fable and West played out really well.  

Things I didn't like:

-     The only thing I wish we saw was a different point of view.  I liked reading everything from Fables POW, but I think it would have given some dimension to hear from other people.  I hope we see that in the next book, considering that Fable is now a captive of Zola.  

Overall:

-      This book was really fun to read!  I haven't read any pirate books before, so this was a new fun thing for me.  The book was super easy to read, and had a great pace throughout.  It didn't have any extra filler that some books have.  It was quick, to the point, and a great book overall.  The characters were fun and really were all pretty great.  The romance wasn't the typical will they won't they drawn out for 500 pages, and I really liked that.  The story as a whole was fun and really kept my attention for the whole story.  It was a nice change of pace after the last book I read dragged on for over 500 pages with nothing happening for most of it.  Thanks to the cliff hanger in this book I can't wait to read the next one!
